Aalo Atomics
Modular nuclear microreactors for data centers
Aalo Atomics is a nuclear engineering company based in Austin, Texas, founded in 2023. The company specializes in developing mass-manufactured small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) aimed at producing clean energy. Aalo has successfully raised $33.26 million in Series A funding, with a significant portion raised recently. Their mission is to achieve low electricity costs while ensuring safety, with a vision to meet over 50% of the world's clean energy needs.
The company's technology features modular, liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactors designed for efficient manufacturing and on-site assembly. Aalo's product lineup includes the Aalo-0 prototype for testing, the Aalo-X experimental power plant, and the Aalo Pod, a 50 MWe power plant made up of five reactor modules. These reactors utilize advanced fuel and coolant systems for improved efficiency and reduced construction time. Aalo targets data centers and municipal power generation, preparing to establish a factory to produce 100 reactors annually. The first commercial deployment is expected between 2027 and 2029.
