The Critical Moment ft. Matt Loszak (Aalo Atomics)

So for those who don't remember, we talked, I think actually about this time last year, about what was about to go on with ALO and this DOE pilot program and everything that was going on in the NRC.

You just gave us the full readout.

you know, all those theory of the case for its SMR play.

And now we're going to talk about sort of lessons learned over the course of that year as you guys hit your cold criticality.

That's what it's called, right? I'm getting that correct? You're tickling the dragon, as you say?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So, yeah, it's going to be a zero power criticality of a 10 megawatt scale system.

And we're reaching that milestone first and then bringing it to full power operation later soon thereafter.

And we're going to put a data center right next to that.

So once it's at full power producing electrons, we're going to power a co-located data center.

And we believe it'll be the world's first co-built and co-located nuclear plants and data center where they were kind of built side by side at the same time.

Very sick, my friend.

Okay.

So I have a few questions just to sort of get people up to speed because, you know, some people have come into the nuclear barbarians fold since we've last spoken.

I might not be aware.

Talk to me just a little bit about all those reactor, like what the vision is.

Let's just sort of get up to speed here on that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So the whole idea is we are mass manufacturing nuclear power plants, not just the reactor, but the whole plant.

And we're purpose building it to power AI data centers.

So I think some of the things that make us unique, we started around two and a half years ago, started hiring.

We were two people.

Now we're 150.

We've raised a couple hundred million dollars.
