Aalo Pod
The Aalo Pod is a rapidly deployable 50 MWe power plant for AI compute. Comprised of factory-manufactured modules that fit on the back of the truck.
The Aalo Pod is a 50 MWe power plant with five 10 MWe reactors sharing multiple turbines. With phased maintenance, it is never fully offline.
Co-located with data centers, the Aalo Pod is the clean and sustainable power solution for artificial intelligence.
From Prototype to Production
Sodium Test Loop
The foundation of our sodium testing program. The STL circulates sodium reliably with in-house design, manufacturing, and test programs. Its small-scale components provide baseline flow, temperature, and quality data for Aalo-0 and Aalo-X. Operational in our skunkworks lab in Idaho today.
First Nuclear Reactor
The CTR is a zero-power reactor built at Idaho National Laboratory. It enables us to validate core neutronics, test control rod mechanisms, and implement a lifecycle build and licensing process for a nuclear facility at full-scale. On July 3, 2026, in the CTR, we achieved initial criticality: a self-sustaining nuclear reaction.
Full-Scale Sodium System
The power plant without the heat. Aalo-0 is the non-nuclear sodium loops, heat exchangers, and turbine — built at full commercial scale with electrical heaters simulating a reactor core. Aalo-0 de-risks every system in the plant outside of the nuclear components proved at the CTR.
First Power Plant
The first integrated power plant. Aalo-X brings everything together—nuclear core, sodium loops, turbine—into a full operating power plant on a DOE-granted site at INL. 10 MWe, full power, with a colocated data center.

First Commercial Pod
Five reactors, multiple turbines, a 50 MWe power plant purpose-built for data center customers.
Cooled by liquid metal.
The ideal nuclear coolant. Extreme thermal conductivity and high boiling point. Complete compatibility with structural steel. Optimal for future fuel-breeding and waste-burning.
Why Sodium?
more thermally conductive than water, molten salt, and gas.
smaller vessels, increasing mass manufacturability and transportability.
boiling point, unlocking non-pressurized vessels. This means simpler and safer systems.
We use off-the-shelf fuel
Low-enriched uranium with <5% fissile U-235 or <8% for LEU+.
Vetted supply chain. Produced
at scale.
A higher-enriched fuel that doesn't yet exist at commercial scale. Aalo will consider implementation as the supply chain expands.
The world’s existing nuclear fleet runs on low-enriched uranium. Aalo unlocks this supply chain for advanced reactors.
With partners Urenco and GE Vernova, we are sticking to our design constraint of "no unobtanium."
Aalo powers AI.
AI accelerates Aalo.
Site procurement. Permiting. Regulatory documentation. Engineering and design. Automated welding. Internal tooling. Organizational efficiency. AI speeds it all up, which accelerates the creation of smarter AI.
We make 90% of the power plant ourselves.
Most nuclear companies are design firms. We treat the factory as the product. The 10% we don't make comes from a supplier network in the US. No unobtainium, nothing on critical path that we don't control.
Built with the institutions that built nuclear.
We are looking for partners who can also deliver NQA-1 components. Reach out to our Procurement Specialists to learn more.
