Summary
Nuclear startup Aalo Atomics has achieved criticality with its Aalo-X mini nuclear reactor at a site near Idaho National Laboratory, meeting a July 4 deadline set by President Trump. The company brought its entire 200-person Austin workforce to Idaho Falls for the milestone event, which CEO Matt Loszak likened to "a nuclear Burning Man." The achievement is part of a broader push with two other new reactors also reaching successful testing to satisfy a presidential challenge, with government support playing a key role.
