Value proposition

Scalable, predictable, and cost-effective clean energy solution via factory-manufactured modular reactors designed for rapid deployment and high energy output with a target cost of 3¢/kWh.

Products and solutions

Aalo-0: Full-scale non-nuclear prototype, Aalo-X: 10 MWe experimental power plant, Aalo Pod: 50 MWe commercial product

Unique value

Mass-manufacturing standardized, modular nuclear reactors in factories enables faster deployment, greater predictability, and lower costs compared to traditional nuclear plants. Utilizes liquid metal coolant to produce up to 10 times more energy than similar sized nuclear technologies.

Target customer

Operators of large-scale AI data centers, industrial facilities, and municipalities requiring consistent clean power.

Industries served

AI/Data Centers, Energy, Industrial Manufacturing, Urban Power Grids

Technology advantage

Liquid metal coolant provides higher energy density and efficiency. Modular factory-built model reduces construction time and costs, making nuclear energy more scalable and accessible. Focus on the high-growth AI data center market provides a clear, expanding customer base.

How they differentiate

Focus on extra modular reactors (XMRs) designed for on-site, continuous power to AI and data centers. Emphasizes rapid factory-based manufacturing and deployment with first plant targeted for 2026. Uses liquid metal-cooled reactor technology offering safety and efficiency benefits over water-cooled reactors.
