Nuclear fireside with Zeno Power
Join us for an evening fireside chat that looks beyond headlines and into how advanced nuclear power systems actually get built, approved, and deployed — especially in places where the grid stops being the answer.
Zeno Power will share an operator’s view of commercial radioisotope “nuclear batteries” — (how decay heat becomes long-life, reliable electricity for remote and mission-critical environments), and what it really takes to align hardware, fuel supply, testing, and regulation into something deployable.
This session is for investors, founders, operators, and technical leaders who want a clearer map of where nuclear innovation is accelerating, what small, distributed, long-life power unlocks for hardware-heavy industries, and how teams navigate deployment constraints that rarely show up in a standard pitch.
Format: Fireside Chat + Audience Q&A
Venue: 9Zero (Downtown Seattle)

Speaker: Lindsey Boles
Lindsey Boles is the Chief Product Officer at Zeno Power. In this role, she is responsible for growth and development of the Engineering Organization as well as overseeing all engineering work for Zeno’s next generation radioisotope power systems and future technologies. Lindsey is also the Program Director for all Zeno Projects in execution, as well as Zeno’s Procurement, Contracting, and Lab Operations Organizations. Lindsey has 13 years of experience in the Nuclear Industry, with the last 9 years working on advanced nuclear technologies. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington.
Before coming to Zeno Power, Lindsey spent 6 years at TerraPower where she started as a Nuclear Systems Engineer, then started focusing on subcontractor management and became the Project Manager of two projects supporting both of TerraPower’s advanced nuclear reactor technologies. After four years with TerraPower, Lindsey then moved into the Director of Engineering role, where she was responsible for management, development, and engineering work execution for all Engineering Disciplines. Prior to TerraPower, Lindsey was a qualified Nuclear Shift Test Engineer at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard where she worked on US Navy Aircraft Carrier reactor plants. She spent two years in school prior to passing her qualification exams and spent the next three years in various roles from leading high profile reactor plant evolutions, to supporting reactor operations and unusual reactor maintenance.
