Deep Fission raises $30M in financing
Since the Department of Energy kicked off a 10-company race with its Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program to bring test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, the industry has been waiting for new headlines proclaiming progress. Aalo Atomics broke ahead of the pack first by announcing last week that it had broken ground on its 50-MWe Aalo-X at Idaho National Laboratory.

A method for the production of a foam filled target with two regions of different densities is described in this paper. These two different density regions are separated by a 1 μm thick film, with a roughness of 5 μm rms peak to valley. The two regions are filled with a homogeneous, different density foams. These targets were designed to investigate the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in the plasma region. The production of these targets using the in-situ polymerization technique is described. Several approaches for the production of these targets are examined. Triacrylate foams with densities of 40 mg cm−3 and 200 mg cm−3 were used in the targets.
