This nuclear fuel (UZrH) has an incredible property: It can’t melt itself down. But why isn't it used in reactors everywhere? In this video, we visit UT Austin's UZrH nuclear reactor and put it to the test: we actually TRY to make it melt down. Then we explore the history of UZrH, the challenges of using it in a power-generating reactor, and the upside if these challenges are overcome. cc Aalo Atomics, Yasir Arafat, Gavin Ridley, Richard Williams, MSME, MBA, P.E., William S.

Exciting news! ⚛️ The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified a potential site at Idaho National Laboratory for Aalo Atomics’ experimental reactor facility. This facility will be used to demonstrate their nuclear microreactor, a 10 megawatt sodium-cooled microreactor that draws inspiration from Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy's MARVEL microreactor. Aalo Atomics joins a growing list of microreactor projects at INL, including MARVEL, United States Department of Defense's Project Pele, and several commercial demonstration projects from reactor developers like Oklo Inc, Radiant, Westinghouse Electric Company and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation.

NEWS: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified a potential site Idaho National Laboratory to build Aalo Atomics' experimental microreactor. The new facility would be located near the lab's Materials and Fuels Complex and will be used to advance the company’s commercial Aalo-1 sodium cooled microreactor design that the company homes to deploy before the end of the decade. Aalo Atomics will pursue DOE authorization to build and operate the Aalo-X facility under the oversight of the Department’s Idaho Operations Office. The company expects to complete the process in less than two years potentially starting construction as early as 2026 with operations starting in 2027. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4gwS3NB

Aalo Atomics has been granted a provisional plot of land at INL, for siting our first reactor, Aalo-X! The site is close to a number of historic projects that were built at the lab in the First Atomic Age, including EBR-II. Importantly, this site is already well-characterized from an environmental, seismic, and cultural perspective. This should expedite our deployment process. It’s also worth noting, we plan to test not just the reactor and fuel performance, but also Aalo’s fully modular civil construction technology for the reactor building and balance of plant. This is critical, since the economics of factory mass manufactured reactors will be determined by the degree of modularity of the entire plant, rather than just the reactor itself. The next step is for us to continue pursuing DOE approval to construct the reactor, which we're aiming to complete by 2026. Stay tuned for more on this! Big thanks to everyone at Aalo for their hard work, and thanks to INL and DOE for being so responsive to our urgency around getting Aalo-X built. https://lnkd.in/gHJmZBHD cc Aalo Atomics, Yasir Arafat, Richard Williams, MSME, MBA, P.E., Luke Andrew, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho National Laboratory, Sam Reiss

🚀 Big news from Aalo Atomics! We've officially received the green light from the U.S. Department of Energy-Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) to pursue authorization for Aalo-X, our pioneering experimental reactor at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). 🌍⚡ 🤔 Why do we need Aalo-X? Aalo-X will allow us to gather invaluable data on reactor performance, passive safety systems, fuel behavior, and sodium coolant behavior. These insights will feed directly into the deployment and operations of the Aalo-1, our flagship sodium-cooled factory mass-manufactured reactor, slated for commercial deployment later this decade.

Aalo has received permission to pursue a "DOE Authorization" regulatory pathway for our first, experimental reactor, the Aalo-X. This is an exciting vote of confidence from the DOE, and another strong signal that the US is on the verge of a Second Atomic Age. 52 test reactors were built at INL in the 1950s - 70s, but then that number fell to just 3 for a number of decades. Aalo-X, MARVEL, and other new reactors being built at INL in the next 5 years will usher in this new wave of invention, carrying the baton from 40 years ago. We'll be building and testing not just our reactor, but also our fully modularized civil construction technology, and will be running a number of experiments that will shed new light on what's possible with sodium-cooled reactors.
