Aalo Atomics

Graphite moderators are used in nuclear reactors to slow down neutrons and sustain the fission reaction. Here, Andrea Jokisaari, Ph.D, loads graphite into the core of Aalo's Critical Test Reactor. Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/gv3sGZP4

We’re hiring a Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales at Aalo Atomics in Austin, TX! Drive go-to-market strategy and accelerate adoption of advanced nuclear microreactors across utilities, industry, and government, while closing complex, first-of-a-kind deals. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of energy at scale. Interested? Let’s connect.

Podcast interview with Matt Loszak and Yasir Arafat out now, discussing Aalo's approach to criticality and commercialization, how the AI data center boom supports nuclear resurgence, nuclear safety, and energy abundance.

As the AI buildout collides with grid limitations, Aalo is mass-manufacturing modular nuclear power plants designed to sit directly next to data centers. On-site assembly, sodium-cooled, transportable by truck, and 50 MWe of energy per Pod. Aalo-X, our first reactor at Idaho National Laboratory and the first new reactor built on DOE land in 50 years, is targeting criticality by July 4, 2026. Thanks Forbes for stopping by and sharing our story, featuring Matt Loszak and Yasir Arafat.

I grew up in Bangladesh, studying by candlelight when the power went out. Today Forbes featured Aalo Atomics and our plan: serve the hyperscalers first, drive the cost curve down, then bring abundant clean energy to every kid who's ever wondered if the lights would stay on. https://lnkd.in/gaDDCj8z

We’re hiring a Senior Test Engineer in Austin, TX! At Aalo Atomics, testing drives design. We’re looking for a hands‑on engineer to build and run the prototype test systems that help us develop microreactors faster and safer. If you love learning directly from real hardware, let’s talk.

Episode 3 of “Critical Thinking” is live: Inside the Core. Every reactor design comes down to one bet: your chosen combination of fuel, coolant, and moderator. For Aalo-1, we picked UO2, liquid sodium, and graphite. This episode explains why. We get into some real engineering: fast vs thermal spectrum, HALEU+, the role of the graphite moderator, and how neutronics, thermal hydraulics, shielding, and manufacturing must come together to make a reactor real. It's a long one (52 minutes - get out some headphones and go for a walk!). Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gx8QKb38

Aalo is looking for an AI Platform Engineer to join our team. This isn’t a role for someone who simply Claude-codes their way through automation scripts. We need someone who can architect AI-powered, production-grade enterprise systems that are secure, auditable, observable, resilient, scalable, and maintainable, all at high velocity. If this is you, there may not be a more exciting place to be right now. Truly world-changing things are happening at Aalo, the fastest company in nuclear. Using AI to build clean power that, in turn, powers AI. A wonderfully virtuous cycle. Apply here 👇 #hiring
