Operation Windlord behind the scenes master thread. Hundreds of people across DOE, DOW, and our own Valar team worked tirelessly to perform this demonstration. Thanks for following along for the first-ever C-17 airlift of a nuclear reactor. Now on to power operations by July 4.

Today, we’re exited to partner with the Department of War and Department of Energy on Operation Windlord. Three C-17s will be transporting our Ward250 reactor from March ARB to Hill AFB. Here’s a peek at what it took to bring this operation to life. (Part 1)

Our mission at Valar Atomics is to make the world’s energy with nuclear reactors that are designed and built for scale. With this milestone, we remain on track to accomplish the President’s mandate in EO 14301, and demonstrate our first proof of scalable nuclear energy.

In the coming weeks, the Department of Energy will conduct an Operational Readiness Review, auditing our policies and procedures to ensure that we are ready to make power in America’s first Gen IV power reactor.

Today, the DOE accepted our Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) for the Ward250 Reactor. The DSA is our final design approval, demonstrating that we have satisfied the DOE’s rigorous safety standards in engineering and construction. Next, Readiness Review and power before July 4.

Last November, Valar Atomics became the first startup to achieve criticality in our Nova Core. Now, we're using the experience we gained to take the next big leap: hot criticality and power operations in Ward250 by July 4th of this year. Here's why it matters:

Utah is a land of innovation and opportunity. I was very impressed to visit the new @valaratomics project on site at the San Rafael Energy Lab where their advanced micro nuclear reactor, one that was just air-lifted into the state, is being deployed to help demonstrate the capability and safety of nuclear energy in the modern era. Very impressive!

Last night, I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the National Criticality Safety Program's Technical Program Review, where I shared an update on the incredible work that Valar team and NCERC did on Project Nova. So grateful for the critically important work of NCSP.

Last Thursday, we paused site work and opened up Ward250 to our community in Emery County. Over 300 neighbors joined us for an evening of nuclear reactors and BBQ, and lots of people learned about how nuclear works for the first time. Team Valar is grateful for Emery County!
