Congratulations to @AntaresNuclear, @INL, and @ENERGY on a major milestone⚛️
Criticality is a key step in reactor testing and provides data that can support future reactor development and licensing efforts👏
🎉 WE HAVE CRITICALITY! 🎉
On June 4, 2026, at around 12:30 MDT, @AntaresNuclear’s Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at @INL.
It is the first nuclear test reactor to go critical under @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program. Congratulations to Antares on reaching this historic milestone!
