Aalo Atomics is a next gen nuclear energy company developing modular, factory-built reactors optimized for rapid deployment and high-demand applications like AI data centers. Founded in 2022, the company has scaled rapidly, completing its pilot factory and full-scale reactor prototype within 19 months. Headquartered in Texas, Aalo is leveraging its team’s deep regulatory experience—including leading the MARVEL project, the first DOE-approved reactor in decades—to build its first reactor, the Aalo-X, at Idaho National Lab. With a pragmatic approach to fuel, siting, and regulatory pathways, Aalo is positioned to lead the new wave of fast, scalable nuclear deployment.
In under two years since, the company has gone from zero to a full-scale reactor prototype and pilot factory, positioning itself as one of the fastest-moving startups in the nuclear space. Its first-of-a-kind regulatory success—spearheaded by team members who led the DOE-approved MARVEL reactor—gives Aalo a clear, de-risked path to bringing its Aalo-X reactor online by ~2027. Unlike peers reliant on delayed HALEU fuel, Aalo uses LEU+ UO₂, which is commercially available now, allowing them to deploy ahead of most of the industry. The company’s target market, AI data centers, is experiencing substantial energy demand and has both the urgency and capital to pay a premium for clean, reliable power. With modular design, factory-built infrastructure, and a deeply experienced team from Westinghouse, Microsoft, and SpaceX, Aalo has the potential to lead the commercial nuclear renaissance and scale globally as the first true gigafactory for nuclear energy.
