Valar has often been criticized for its fast pace. They say you can't go fast in nuclear... So I asked my friend Darren to sit down with three people who have half a century of experience in nuclear programs all over the world, and ask them a question: Are we going too fast?

Shielding is one of the toughest parts of a reactor to get right, especially when you’re planning for thousands of units. We needed something robust, and yet extremely simple. That’s why I’m excited to share a sneak peak of our pre-cast shielding system: the Modular Citadel!

Normally, I hate renders. We have an extremely strict rule: only real photos or obvious AI. However, the Gigasite concept is so different than anything that has existed before, I've found that people have a hard time imagining it. So just this once... a Gigasite sneak peak.
