Yasir Arafat(@yasir_fission):We are a GO for startup! At our Aalo-X site today, Matt and I stood with @SecretaryWright as he signed off on approval to turn on our Critical Test Reactor. This clears us to load fuel and begin operations. The Aalo team worked hard to get us here and I’m incredibly grateful to the teams at the Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office and Idaho National Laboratory for their dedication and support. On to July 4!
