🚀We just closed a $100M Series B to build our first pilot reactor, Aalo-X. 🏠One step closer to delivering factory-built nuclear pods for the world’s data centers. Thankful for my partner, @MattLoszak (who led an incredible fundraising process), our team (who kept hitting.
Beyond excited to announce Aalo’s $100M Series B, led by Valor Equity Partners. We now have the capital to build our first nuclear power plant, the Aalo-X, which we’re aiming to turn on *next summer*. Here's our plan: 🧵

What’s cool about the Aalo-X is that, we not only demo the nuclear technology, but also prove how we can power a next gen AI datacenter seamlessly (and deal with all the harmonics)

First look at our Aalo-X nuclear power plant architecture, and we are going to build this and go operational in less than a year. This is a 10MWe experimental nuclear power plant, we are building out in the Idaho desert, outside @INL.

Hot off the Press! 🚀 .@AaloAtomics is selected by U.S. Department of Energy for the Reactor Pilot Program to go critical by July 4th, 2026!!.
🎉The U.S. Department of Energy has just selected Aalo to test our experimental reactor, Aalo-X, targeting criticality by July 4th, 2026. At first this timeline might sound impossible, but Aalo is uniquely well positioned to stand a chance at pulling it off. 🧵.

At Aalo Atomics, we work hard and we play hard!. We just wrapped up our quarterly kickoff meeting with the entire team at our Idaho Office, and it's the best one so far. We celebrated July 4th together, drove to Grand Tetons over the weekend, rode a boat across Jenny Lake to

Just had an amazing meeting with the Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, David Wright and the @AaloAtomics team. In his own words “the NRC is leaning in” . There has never been a better time to license an advanced reactor in the US. Cc: @MattLoszak
