Everything is made of atoms.
And atoms hold immense energy.
Energy underpins quality of life.
So the world needs more of it to keep growing, expanding & evolving.
And it needs it faster than ever before.
So we're building Aalo.
Our Timeline

2 people to 200 in 3 years.

Why nuclear
for data centers?

~0.1 nm
Speed

Power in months, not years. Hundreds of megawatts deployed in 6 to 12 months - while gigawatt-scale reactors are still drafting permits.

01
Availibility

99.99% uptime via fleet deployment. Refuel one at a time. Never fully offline.

02
Runs anywhere

Works 24/7 in any climate. No body of water required. Behind the meter or on the grid - it just runs.

03

Cost reduction unlocks
a holy-grail energy product.

Why sodium.

Liquid sodium carries heat one hundred times better than water. That means our reactor vessels are two-to-five times smaller than the competition's at the same power level - small enough to fit on a normal truck, which is what makes mass manufacturing possible.

Sodium also runs at near-atmospheric pressure, which means simpler systems and inherent passive safety. The reactor stays safe even when nobody is watching it.

Thesis

Vertical integration unlocks complete control over cost and schedule. Mass-manufacturing unlocks cost reduction with scale.

We weld our own vessels. We build our own scaffolding modules. We fabricate our own fuel assemblies. We write our own control systems. The 10% we don't make comes from a 127-supplier network we built across the United States - no unobtainium, nothing critical on a path we don't control.

We built the first new reactor facility at Idaho National Laboratory in fifty years - in thirty-six days. The Critical Test Reactor was assembled in under four weeks. Factory completed and NQA-1 certified in six months. All achieved with under $100m in spend, in under 3 years.
