A lot of great VC is foresight, capitalized - a rare art of recognizing the inevitable before it becomes consensus, and reading human nature well enough to see who a founder becomes.

We have announced our ongoing collaboration with Microsoft and NVIDIA to accelerate nuclear energy deployment with AI.
This video from @microsoft details why the electricity problem is so important to solve and results Aalo has seen thus far.

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:

Big news out of Idaho from @AaloAtomics!
Mar 19
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!

Imagine a future Aalo facility that:
> Uses seawater for cooling,
> Desalinates that water to make it drinkable,
> Splits that salt to make sodium metal for our reactors,
> And separates out Uranium from that sea water for "limitless" fuel!

Our top secret master plan:
1️⃣ Power AI data centers, who can pay a slight premium for speed.
2️⃣ Power utilities at lower cost, strengthen the grid.
3️⃣ Power developing nations. Cheap, clean, and reliable at scale.
More energy = more wealth and wellbeing.
