About
Astral Systems is a Bristol-based deep tech company developing Multi-State Fusion (MSF) reactor technology to produce medical isotopes for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Its compact fusion reactors generate high-intensity neutron beams that irradiate target materials to create radioisotopes including Actinium-225 and Lead-212 — isotopes in critical short supply globally. Astral's reactors operate at Technology Readiness Level 9, with the company having generated over £3M in research contract revenue. Founded in 2021 by Talmon Firestone and Dr. Tom Wallace-Smith, the company builds on NASA's discovery of lattice confinement fusion and a decade of NSD fusion commercialization. It raised a £23M Series A in 2026 to scale production.
