Aalo Atomics
Aalo designs and manufactures sodium-cooled nuclear power plants, with the Aalo Pod delivering 50 MWe of electricity through five factory-built Aalo-1 reactors and three turbines. The company targets AI data centers, aiming for deployment in under one year and electricity costs that eventually reach 3¢/kWh.

Problem
AI data centers require reliable, clean, and rapidly deployable power at massive scale, but traditional gigawatt-scale nuclear plants take years to permit and construct. Clean energy alternatives like solar and wind are intermittent and can't guarantee the 99.99% uptime data centers demand. This mismatch between energy demand and supply availability threatens the growth of AI infrastructure.
Solution
Aalo builds mass-manufactured, sodium-cooled nuclear power plants designed for rapid deployment and fleet-based operation. Aalo Pods—each containing five Aalo-1 reactors and three turbines—deliver 50 MWe and can be installed in under a year, in months rather than years. The company's liquid sodium coolant enables reactor vessels two-to-five times smaller than water-cooled competitors at the same power level, making them transportable by truck and suitable for factory mass production. Aalo's vertical integration spans fuel fabrication, vessel welding, and control systems, with a U.S.-based supplier network for the remaining components. The company's first reactor, the Aalo-X, achieved criticality at Idaho National Laboratory and will power a co-located data center in 2027.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI data center operators and hyperscalers needing reliable, rapidly deployable clean power. Secondary markets include municipal utilities, desalination plants, industrial heat users, and military installations.
Features
- Aalo-1 reactor: 30 MWt / 10 MWe output, sodium thermal type, UO₂ ceramic fuel, transportable by truck
- Aalo Pod: 50 MWe configuration with five reactors and three turbines, installed in under one year
- Liquid sodium cooling: 100x better heat transfer than water, enabling compact vessel design and passive safety at near-atmospheric pressure
- Design for 99.99% uptime through fleet deployment and reactor/turbine redundancy
- Factory-built modules shipped on standard roads from a vertically integrated 40,000 sqft pilot factory
- Cost reduction via "economy of multiples": 12-15¢/kWh for AI data centers, 7-10¢/kWh for utilities, targeting 3¢/kWh at scale
