Advanced nuclear meets the challenge of bringing three or more reactors to criticality by July 4th!
Aalo Atomics became the fourth company to achieve criticality with their advanced, Gen IV microreactor by July 4th, under Executive Order 14301 propelling the advanced nuclear sector towards commercializatio.
Aalo Atomics reduced permitting workload by 92% and cut an estimated $80M in annual costs using Microsoft’s generative AI tools, as part of the newly launched Microsoft–NVIDIA “AI for Nuclear” initiative aimed at accelerating reactor design, licensing, and deployment...
Adam Stein of The Breakthrough Institute takes a first look at the NRC's proposed Part 57 licensing regulation for what he calls "low-consequence" reactors.
Growing Energy demand provided demand pull for both traditional and next-generation reactors throughout Q3 of 2025. Yet further boosting momentum was the announcement by the DOE that they had selected ten ventures for accelerated design review of a test unit. This has lit a fire under those and other ventures already making progress to try to get the DOE to allow them to build something by July 4, 2026.
DOE has named 10 advanced reactor teams—including Aalo and Radiant—for accelerated licensing reviews as part of a pilot program to get three test reactors running...
