Throwback to when Valar Atomics revealed that we had built a complete thermal prototype in 10 months on a seed round, at a knock-out black tie event inside our factory. We even designed cocktails for it. This one is called the Fizzion

Grateful that Congressman Rep. Eric Burlison understands how important it is to allow Americans to build again in order to secure the future of energy dominance. Thank you for stopping by Valar Atomics to speak with us about the next chapter in American infrastructure policy!

Today, the Department of War will execute Operation Windlord, the first C-17 airlift of a nuclear reactor, in partnership with the Department of Energy and Valar Atomics. Three C-17s Globemasters carrying the 8 modules of the Ward250 reactor will fly from March ARB to Hill AFB.

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.

This NYE, Palmer and I sat down to talk about his soon-to-be bank, Erebor, and what it means for the future of banking. Here’s a small snippet… “the farmer’s bank for hard tech.” Congrats Erebor team!

There are forklifts. And then there are forklifts that can lift nuclear reactor vessel caps. Please show some respect 🙏🏼

Valar x Erebor NYE 2025 has been the beginning of an inflection point for Valar Atomics. So we’ve decided to double down and work even harder to make the world’s energy in 2026. Happy New Year!

In February we unveiled Ward Zero, our reactor prototype. Secretly though, we wanted an excuse to throw a party and see how many tech bros we could get to show up in full suits. I think we did pretty good 😎👔 Full unveiling footage below 👇🏼

My cousin is getting married, so you get to see a 300 year old Taylor tradition: the passing of the dying charge of John Lee. I believe this is the 9th generation of this charge, first given in 1716.

We found the keys to abundant energy on the cutting floor of the past. We borrowed from our most audacious visions of the future to give it form. Now we get to make the world’s energy by creating thousands of them at Valar Atomics.
