After an 8 month sprint to meet the July 4th deadline, the @AaloAtomics team officially pulled it off on America's 250th birthday! This was a commercial scale advanced nuclear reactor built and operated from an empty plot of land in 8 months. It means the @POTUS's goal for nuclear - 3 criticalities by the 4th - has been surpassed. What a story and what a day - enjoyed in-person at the Aalo Live event by a few hundred employees and VIPs. This was a full-stack effort and commitment - design, manufacturing, regulatory, QC - and could not have been possible at this scale of reactor, operations, and construction if **any** one of those pieces had not been put into place and executed upon succesfully through a lot of hard, careful work. Now we move to the next stage of our pipeline to deploy commercial power: our full-scale experimental power plant, Aalo-X. We announced today that all groundwork for this site has been completed! Video soon on this. After Aalo-X, we deploy our first commercial pod - 50 megawatts of power purpose-built for AI data centers. Then more licenses, factories, deployments, and grinding down the cost curve of nuclear. There's a lot of storytelling we've withheld to focus on criticality. Over the next few weeks you'll see some of this. And, on the order of the next ~1 year, you'll see some of our bigger projects sharing the unique story that's played out over the past 2 years: criticality from start to finish and the nuclear resurgance in America. Stay tuned for what's coming and thanks to everyone who has supported us! We appreciate it.
