Thanks so much for this insightful view into the imminent loading of #uranium fuel as you approach first criticality.🙏 What an amazing journey! Best of luck to you and your team to achieve monumental success for the history books!📚👏

Thank you John!!

🍻

Nice update! Keep making progress and I look forward to seeing the operations soon!

@AaloAtomics Time to split some atoms! ⚛️

@JoeTegtmeyer Good stuff Matt, Godspeed🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is so cool, I love the vlogging, the learning, and being able to be along for the ride is amazing! Thank you so much for doing this and sharing!!

Awesome update. Interesting stuff
Thanks for the tour. Good luck. Exciting times ahead.

@AaloAtomics Love the vlog update!

Mission almost complete‼️

Can feel the anticipation. Good luck!

What else are you controlling reactivity with during fuel loading? Or the way you phrased it just mean you're monitoring while loading and will approach crit after full core is loaded?

The reactor has control rods and various other ways to control reactivity, which we’ll use to gradually approach

so dope to see other young people building such impressive things! I'm rooting for you!!

after the few hours near the reactor

Good luck!🍀

@JoeTegtmeyer So awesome, Matt!

@AaloAtomics 🇺🇸🔥🚀

@AaloAtomics So what's the cooling liquid then?

@AaloAtomics Passively cooled by air for now. In the coming months we are building our full scale sodium cooling loop. Subscale testing is done.

@AaloAtomics So how many kW do you expect in the next few days when you go critical?
