Aalo Atomics’ Post

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
