What keeps a reactor safe? In Oklo’s Aurora powerhouse, safety is built into the physics. Inherent physical responses automatically stabilize the reactor under changing conditions. That means the same forces that drive the operation also stabilize it. These principles were proven 40 years ago in reactors like Experimental Breeder Reactor-II & Fast Flux Test Facility. Now, those same principles are the foundation for Oklo’s fast reactor technology today. Proven in practice, not just theory. Learn more:

Join me and Aalo Atomics Atomics CEO Matt Loszak at their Critical Test Reactor at Idaho National Lab — the first new reactor built there in 50 years! Aalo is racing toward criticality by July 4, 2026, America’s 250th birthday. This isn’t random. It directly answers President Trump’s Executive Order 14301, which launched the DOE Reactor Pilot Program and set the goal of at least three advanced test reactors reaching criticality by Independence Day. Aalo’s sodium-cooled Aalo-X design (built for AI data centers) is proving that with bold policy and American ingenuity, we can move nuclear from paperwork to power at startup speed.

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…

Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility. This commercial-scale reactor with fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity was assembled on site from modular components to conclude a net ~70 day timeline from a desert plot to a reactor, reactor facility, and command & control center. Nuclear fuel will arrive soon and, pending final DOE approval, we will go critical before the President Donald J. Trump July 4th deadline. Here's a first look at some of the work that has gone into this unveiling:

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: "People are talking about these one, five, ten-megawatt data centers... Every time somebody says 'gigawatt', the image I want in your mind is a nuclear reactor. One nuclear reactor is about a gigawatt of power capacity."

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.

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.

This nuclear fuel (UZrH) has an incredible property: It can't melt itself down. But why isn't it used in reactors everywhere? In this video, we visit UT Austin's UZrH nuclear reactor and put it to the test: we actually TRY to make it melt down. Then we explore the history of UZrH, the challenges of using it in a power-generating reactor, and the upside if these challenges are overcome. cc Aalo Atomics Yasir Arafat Christian Keil

Infant US startup has split the atom. Including Aalo, US just achieved 4 adv reactor criticalities. Just months after their sodium test loop, Aalo (yes, light in Bengali) reached first criticality with its zero-power X reactor, validating core systems; full-power ops of the 10 MWe sodium-cooled microreactor next year. Contrast is clear: India is pursuing state-led, large-scale reactors for long-term energy security, while the US/West has a laser focus—create early dependency by capturing the near term commercial demand. Likes of DOE Reactor Pilot Programs are ensuring private firms master repeatable reactor design, mfg, fuel, Ops, including building nuclear hardware & supply chain. The goal: rapidly deploy factory-built 10 MWe microreactors for near-term demand, especially data centres. IND already confirmed 🇺🇸Holtec as its key SMR partner.
