About this Episode

Matt Loszak, the cofounder and CEO of Aalo Atomics, joined me to talk about Aalo’s progress rolling SMRs off the factory line. We get into Aalo’s test reactors at Idaho National Labs, a DOE path toward approving nuclear designs, how Trump’s nuclear executive orders have helped the industry, “zero power criticality,” and more.

Since we recorded this episode, Aalo has closed its $100 million Series B and has officially been selected by the DOE to test its reactor at INL by hitting zero power criticality. And then they broke ground on the project just a few days ago!
