About
Built in Texas. Demonstrated in Idaho.
What do these photos show?
The visual history of Aalo Atomics. Some photos come from our pilot factory in Austin, Texas, where the team manufactures reactor components. Others come from the Aalo campus next to Idaho National Laboratory, which houses our Critical Test Reactor and Aalo-X demonstration power plant.
What is Aalo-X?
Aalo-X is our 10 MWe sodium-cooled demonstration power plant, located on leased land next to Idaho National Laboratory. It validates at full scale the Aalo Pod design, which is a 50 MWe power plant with five factory-built reactors.
