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

Our graphite moderator getting machined. This enables our core to use LEU fuel instead of HALEU We need to machine 180 of these blocks. Will be ready for July 4th criticality reactor!

🔥Two machines, one mind. 👨‍🏭⚙️Two automatic welding machines in action, while our welding team inspects quality. We have 10+ tanks per nuclear reactor, so any efficiency gain can go a long way in improving our factory throughput Aalo Atomics .

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. 🇺🇸
