Cofounder & CTO @ Aalo --- AI runs on atoms. We build the reactors. Reimagining nuclear as a product, not a project. From first principles to first criticality

One year ago today, President Trump signed the Nuclear Executive Orders. The charge: three reactors critical by America's 250th birthday. It sounded impossible. In 12 months, here's what Aalo Atomics did : → May: EOs signed → June: DOE stands up the Reactor Pilot Program → July: Aalo submits → August: Selected as 1 of 11 → September: Landmark OTA signed → October: PDR complete → November: Ground broken → December: Key suppliers signed → January: FDR complete → February: Building done → March: Reactor manufactured, PDSA approved → April: DSA approved, fuel on INL site → May: Reactor installed, commissioned This week we finished fuel mockup trials. We are headed to criticality by July 4th. It will be tight. But in the next few weeks, multiple American companies, Aalo among them, will get there. To our team at Aalo: you built something the industry said couldn't be built, at a speed it said couldn't be moved. I am in awe of you every day. To our partners at Office of Nuclear Energy | US Department of Energy and DOE-ID: thank you for reforming what slowed us down and protecting what keeps us safe. And to the other teams in the RPP: we know what you've poured into this. We've felt every ounce of it ourselves. You are building real things. You are making history. Congratulations on getting this far, and Godspeed for the final stretch. A year ago this was an executive order. In a few weeks, it will be multiple new reactors going critical on American soil. Happy anniversary. 🇺🇸

The country’s newest nuclear reactor vessel just rolled out of Aalo Atomics factory! After passing final factory acceptance tests, she is on her way to Idaho Kudos to our team, who pulled many 24/7 shifts to keep this one on schedule This is what American dynamism looks like! cc: Matt Loszak
