We build mass-manufactured nuclear plants that will power anything from a datacenter to a large city.

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 @POTUS July 4th deadline. Here's a first look at some of the work that has gone into this unveiling:

An altar of progress. 3 year old @AaloAtomics has already built their first nuclear reactor. Seen here in their now complete Critical Test Reactor facility, where they'll turn it on by July 4.

The second atomic age is being built in America under @POTUS and @SecretaryWright. Pictured: the Aalo-X Critical Test Reactor at Idaho National Labs, inagurated today.

Thanks to Bob Boston, manager of the @ENERGY Idaho Operations office, and collaborators across @INL and @ENERGY for their support as we inagurate the first reactor facility completed at Idaho National Labratory, America's oldest nuclear lab, in fifty years. We look forward to our continued work with DOE under the leadership of @SecretaryWright to validate our safety programs as we push to go critical by the July 4th deadline set by @POTUS. Onward and upward to the second atomic age, built in America.

.@AaloAtomics just unveiled a completed 10 MW sodium-cooled Critical Test Reactor at Idaho National Lab. Zero-power criticality targeted before July 4. What it is: Full commercial-scale test reactor with vessel, graphite moderator, I&C, shielding, and control room all designed and built by Aalo “Zero power criticality”: First sustained chain reaction focused on physics validation, not electricity generation One step left: Fuel arriving now. Final DOE authorization is the last gate to first criticality Why it matters: First new sodium-cooled reactor to go critical in the U.S. in 40+ years. Founded in 2023, fission in 2026 Hardware complete. Fuel inbound. Aalo is about to make history.

Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility. We will be turning this reactor on (a “zero power criticality”) well before July 4th! This is a commercial-scale system with enough fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity, and will someday soon power a co-located data center from one of our partners. Here’s what people saw today at our ribbon cutting: ✅ Reactor vessel ✅ Graphite as moderator ✅ Instrumentation and control ✅ Concrete shielding ✅ Building with crane ✅ Control room All designed and built by Aalo. And the nuclear fuel will be arriving any day now. One last step remains: the final DOE approval to turn the reactor on, which we expect to receive soon. DOE has been an incredible partner in this 2.5 year journey, working hard to support a number of companies pushing to advance US nuclear energy. Follow us to be the first to know when we turn this reactor on!

While small reactors have been tried before, mass-manufactured small reactors have not. Small is more expensive than large, if you only make one reactor. But if you make 1000s per year, small could be cheaper than large. This is what Aalo is setting out to prove.
