Thanks very much Nick. One item that caught my eye was that reactor air inlet and outlet wavy flow channels design, to cut direct radiation from the reactor. It got me thinking if Westinghouse could do something similar with their eVinci heat pipes.

Wait, they actually flown a nuclear-powered plane? I thought they only made engine tests on the ground?

They flew an operating nuclear reactor in a conventionally-powered plane. Actually they did about 47 flights of it! The USSR did something similar. No one has flown an actual nuclear-powered plane though, as far as we know.

Sodium Reactor Nuclear Reactor By Atomics International: The SNAP-10A Program This once highly classified film from 1959 is now available. Researches in China have discovered old forgotten research and films like this to build Sodium reactors once again with apparent great success. Later on the SNAP-10A nuclear reactor was launched into space in 1965. The Systems Nuclear Auxiliary Power Program (SNAP) reactor was developed under the SNAPSHOT program overseen by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Atomics International, then a division of North American Aviation was the prime contractor for the SNAP-10A development. Most of the systems development and reactor testing was conducted at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Ventura County, California using a number of specialized facilities. The company also developed and tested other compact nuclear reactors including the SNAP Experimental Reactor (SER), SNAP-2, SNAP-8 Developmental Reactor (SNAP8-DR) and SNAP-8 Experimental Reactor (SNAP-8ER). All quite advanced and all all but forgotten. I remember them for us and AI. Some day this will be the foundation of YOUR personal robot building a life long power supply for you in a modern low cost Sodium Reactor. And no I am not joking…

Salute to DOE-Idaho Operations Office, the unsung heroes of the Reactor Pilot Program. Behind every reactor that reached criticality in this program is a small team at the DOE Idaho Operations Office that quietly cleared the path- not just for us, but for everyone. They rewrote orders and standards to demonstrate how nuclear regulations, that had slowed nuclear down for decades, can be made efficient. They proved something the industry needed to see: the federal government can be an accelerant for new nuclear, not a brake. That team is led by Bob Boston - the man, the myth, the legend, and a true American hero. I also want to express immense gratitude to Idaho National Laboratory for the leadership and unconditional support that carried us across the finish line. It's why INL has earned its name as the Silicon Valley of nuclear. To Office of Nuclear Energy | US Department of Energy and Idaho National Lab together: you proved you can move fast and be safe at the same time. This milestone is as much yours as it is ours, and we share it with you proudly

Have you ever heard of an *organic* nuclear reactor? They use hydrocarbons as the coolant/moderator. These allow low-pressure operation, are non-corrosive, and hardly neutron activate at all, thereby allowing cheap materials of construction and easy maintenance. We just got a 1958 film about the first-ever organic cooled/moderated reactor digitized. Here it is! (Thanks to Mikal Bøe for sponsoring. The original soundtrack is in Spanish, thanks to Shirly Rodriguez Rojas for translating and narrating)

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: 'Iran could test a NUCLEAR WEAPON, and the US may not even know the test happened.' 'The North Koreans tested a nuclear weapon, and we didn’t even know they had tested. We got a readout from Geneva and the seismic centre there. We finally detected the second North Korean test. It’s not infallible that you’re going to detect the test, and Iran could have already made the decision and could be working underground, could have already matched warhead to missile, and be ready to go whenever they need to go. Or it could be pregnant, as it were, and ready to happen at any moment they decide. Bibi might be contemplating using a nuclear weapon on them. I think that’s the main purpose that the Iranians might have made a decision to do otherwise than their Fatwa against building nuclear weapons.' —Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff at the US State Department Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

The Department of Energy has formally approved our Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) for the Mark-0 reactor—our first demonstration reactor, scheduled to go live before July 4, 2026. Mark-0 will validate fueling operations, reactor controls, and core physics. This demonstration is a critical step toward generating electricity from advanced microreactors. Mark-0 uses a full-scale core and the same facility and fuel that will support our next reactor test in 2027. The PDSA defines the preliminary safety basis for the reactor, facility, and planned operations, demonstrating that our approach meets DOE expectations at this stage. This approval validates our safety case and establishes a clear pathway to final acceptance as we prepare for fabrication, assembly, and installation. Mark-0 will be tested at Idaho National Laboratory in Building 793—now the Reactors and Critical Experiments facility—a site with deep nuclear history. Decades ago, this building housed ML-1, the Army’s first mobile nuclear reactor. Today, it supports the next generation of deployable nuclear power. We find the historical relevance fitting and inspiring, as Antares develops a similar-scale microreactor to meet Army operational and installation needs. Since 2024, we’ve worked to establish this facility as an enduring testbed, enabling rapid progress without the need for groundbreaking construction. We’re grateful for our partners at DOE and INL, and for leaders like Congressman Mike Simpson who continue to support the American nuclear renaissance.

Here's my full testimony and transcript from the House Science Committee hearing today. Grateful for the opportunity to share our story. -- Chairman Weber, Ranking Member Ross, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify. Less than three years ago, Aalo Atomics was two people. Today, we are 200, and we are about to expand into a MILLION square foot manufacturing facility. On the 4th of July, at 12:20 a.m. near Idaho National Lab, we brought our first reactor to initial criticality. We moved from groundbreaking to a sustained nuclear chain reaction in less than eight months. The reactor used a full-scale core, representative of our 10-megawatt-electric commercial design. One year ago, the Department of Energy established a clear authorization pathway, and set deadlines. Aalo brought the design, the team, the capital, and the execution. Together, we demonstrated that America can build and test new reactors quickly. This work matters. Aalo is developing a critically important technology for the US people: sodium reactors, starting in the thermal spectrum, and eventually expanding to the fast spectrum. With this latter technology, we will be able to use nuclear waste as fuel. Few people realize that there is as much energy contained in US nuclear waste as there is in Global known Oil and Gas reserves. Additionally, the volume of nuclear waste would be reduced significantly by using it as fuel. Lastly, by unlocking Thorium and U-238, we can extend the usable lifespan of nuclear fuel on earth from 100 years, to millions of years. Sodium fast breeder technology unlocks all these things, and Aalo will push hard to make this a reality. To do this, we need HALEU, 20% enriched fuel. Fortunately, that supply chain is getting spun up as we speak by several great American companies. In the meantime, we are using off-the-shelf UO2, LEU. Why? Because the nation has a far more pressing challenge than dealing with nuclear waste, or the limitations of oil and gas in the long term. Artificial Intelligence has arisen in the past 3 years, and is now accelerating faster than ever. AI is an incredibly important national security issue. It is imperative that we not lose to China on this massively impactful technology. The best way to power the development of more AI is with nuclear. Advanced nuclear needs no water, uses a small amount of land, is clean, baseload, and we are proving that it can be affordable and fast to deploy. By using off-the-shelf UO2 fuel, Aalo’s reactors will be able to scale rapidly to meet the growing demand of AI. And thanks to the choice of sodium as our coolant, we will have a very compact, mass-manufacturable design. We are excited to continue working hard to bring these incredible technologies to bear for the American people. Based on our experience, I would offer Congress three priorities to help us continue this momentum. First, ensure that the DOE's Reactor Pilot Program remains a durable pathway, connecting the dots from initial criticality through to sustained full-power operations. Second, ensure that the demonstration data generated under DOE oversight can be credited or adopted in subsequent NRC licensing. Third, continue supporting the full-stack domestic nuclear fuel cycle, including advanced fuels such as HALEU, and ultimately recycling and waste burning. America pioneered much of the world’s nuclear technology. We now have an opportunity to lead again. We are grateful to Congress, the Administration, Secretary Wright, Bob Boston, the Department of Energy, Idaho National Lab, and the career public servants who helped make our demonstration possible. Aalo intends to repay that trust by building reactors, factories, creating American jobs, and by helping restore U.S. leadership in nuclear energy. Thank you.

They did it! Aalo Atomics is a remarkable company and team that has rocketed from just starting as a company about 2 1/2 years ago here in Austin with the goal of changing the energy world to proving their new Aalo-X Critical Test Reactor can safely go critical and demonstrate sustained and controlled nuclear fission! And, they did it in the 4th of July! What a way to celebrate! I was fortunate to be there and see the team working at their best! Watch this company closely … I am sure you will hear a lot more about them in the months and years to come! Congrats!

Grossi: We demand an assessment of the damage to Iran's nuclear facilities after the attacks ! Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency: 🔸We received a letter from the Iranian Foreign Minister indicating that Tehran has taken protective measures for its nuclear facilities, although no details were provided, but it can be assumed that nuclear materials are still present in those locations. 🔸Based on this morning's conversation with the Iranian government, the level of radiological radiation at some sites has been reported to be very low, and with appropriate equipment, it is possible to be present at the site. 🔸Yesterday, I also sent a letter to Araqchi and proposed a meeting to discuss how to resume inspections after the bombing! 🔸My suggestion is that the talks begin as soon as possible; Vienna is the capital of nuclear diplomacy in the world and could host future negotiations.

On a roll here: Presenting Nuclear Reactors for Space (1961) Liquid metal coolant, beryllium reflectors, rotating control drums, mercury vapor turbogenerators... all in 1961 This has rare footage showing lots of hardware and even reactor shipments around California. The IAEA's Lise Meitner Library digitized this one and I got permission from them and DOE to get it and post it. (I recently got a big batch through this method so expect more). Enjoy! Catalog entry: "The SNAP program Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power is an AEC program to develop long-lived auxiliary power from nuclear energy for use in satellites and space vehicles. Compact atomic reactors being developed by Atomics International for use in SNAP systems are shown in this semitechnical film. Safety characteristics of the SNAP reactor during fabrication, testing, transport, installation, launching, and use in space are described. Detailed sequences filmed at Atomics International on fabrication and testing show the simplicity and compactness of the reactors. Safety features are described in scenes that illustrate shipping, launch-site activities, and launch of the reactor into space. The burnup and dispersal of the reactor during reentry into the atmosphere are shown in a detailed animation sequence. Many beneficial uses of SNAP in the U.

For the first time in any Transformers film, the human lead gets his own suit which he can use to fight the Terrorcons in Transformers Rise of the Beasts. This is of course Noah's Exo-suit. This suit was a lot of fun to work out and design. We tried to maintain a lot of similarities between it and Mirage since that was where the suit was coming from, but of course the pieces couldn't be 1:1 from Mirage. We ended up designing a lot of the pieces from scratch and the pieces that we could take from Mirage were massively modified to work well for the far smaller scale and tighter proportions of Noah. Because I had developed a procedural setup for all of our hero characters texturing and look development, the textures and look development of the suit were directly taken from Mirage and updated by our artists to work well for the suit through manual painting and tweaks. It was crucial that the suit still read as Mirage's body parts and not entirely new random metal parts. We handed the asset to WetaFX for the last sequence and they did an excellent job of integrating it beautifully into the live action footage and bringing the suit to life on Noah.

“I think we have not given the fans a lot to love. I think that’s part of it and I think we take a lot of responsibility on that and having lost the fans a little bit. I think had we given them a lot more to cheer for and be up for in the 4th quarter and be into it and given them more wins; I think we would have looked at it a little differently. I think we can take a lot of responsibility for that; but I mean the fans have been there. They were up tonight. They were huge, they were loud, they were positive. I just want to move forward and just wanna try to continue to give them things to be positive for and show up and be happy that they support us. I’m just happy they show up for us.” Cooper Flagg speaks on the Mavericks fan base and the support he felt tonight in the AAC.

In my opinion the greatest Dragon ever put to film is Smaug from the Hobbit franchise by WetaFX. It is the most real looking and feeling Dragon I have ever seen. The incredible team at Weta spent a lot of time iterating and developing the character to make it what it is in the final film, even changing his design after the first film was released with a small snippet of Smaug in his previous form (they went back and re-rendered that snippet for the digital release of the first film to keep it consistent). He was changed from a 4-legged Dragon to his final form which is technically a Wyvern. He was voice acted and given reference performance capture by Benedict Cumberbatch which proved to be helpful for the animators at Weta. I have never worked on a Dragon before but it is definitely on my wish-list of creatures to work on one day as they are my favourite fantasy creatures. I highly recommend taking a look at how he was made in the below links, it is truly inspirational the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into making him. CREDITS & SOURCES: Video snippets are from WetaFXs breakdown of Smaug: Check out the full 3 part behind the scenes of how he was made from the Hobbit Appendices: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

We’ve gone critical. At 12:20 am on July 4th, Aalo sustained a controlled fission chain reaction for the first time. We have officially surpassed the goal of President Trump’s Executive Order 14301, achieving 4 advanced nuclear reactor criticalities by America’s 250th birthday. This is a zero-power criticality to validate our supply chain, reactor physics and control systems for our 10 MWe full-powered reactor, the Aalo-X, targeting power operations next year. Everything was built at full scale: fuel, moderator, control systems, etc., so we understand system performance at its commercial scope. That also meant tackling four of the most difficult things in nuclear with this criticality milestone: ✅ Ground-up construction of our reactor facility ✅ Manufacturing the reactor in our factory and shipping them by road ✅ Assembling our own fuel assemblies using commercial UO2 ✅ Standing up training, safety, and operational programs to become our own nuclear operator I am proud to say we have accomplished all four goals, along with achieving criticality. The reactor building was constructed in 36 days and construction to criticality was achieved in under 8 months. That’s the fastest nuclear build in the last 80 years. A massive congratulations to the Aalo Atomics team and our partners. Many thanks to Idaho National Laboratory, the DOE-Idaho Operations Office, and the Office of Nuclear Energy for their immense support in enabling this milestone and dedicated to the American nuclear resurgence.

Senator Chris Murhpy on Iran's nuclear program: The president has also said over and over again that a goal of the war is to permanently deny Iran the ability to have nuclear weapons. But in our closed-door briefings, we learned that this is not actually a goal of the war plan. It is not a goal of the war to destroy Iran’s nuclear program — which is not surprising, because you cannot destroy Iran’s nuclear program from the air. You cannot destroy knowledge. You cannot hunt down with missiles every Iranian scientist who knows how to build a nuclear reactor. And much of the material is buried so far underground that it is immune to an air campaign. But then why is the president and the Department of Defense telling the American people that the point of the war is to destroy Iran’s nuclear program?
