We're on site at Aalo-X, our 10 MWe commercial prototype nuclear power plant, where excavation of the reactor pit is underway. In this update, our team walks through the dig with our contractor Bauer, from demolishing 20,000 PSI basalt rock to installing soldier piles, beams, and support of excavation for the pit that will house the reactor and primary system. Aalo-X will demonstrate the full power plant process, from nuclear fission and heat production to steam generation and spinning a turbine, proving our technology is safe, working, and ready to deploy worldwide.

We build mass-manufactured nuclear plants that will power anything from a datacenter to a city. Our mission is to eventually achieve 3¢ / kWh electricity. Our first product will be the Aalo Pod, a 50 MWe power plant purpose-built for data centers. We've raised $136M to help us get started.
