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.

The uniformity and stability of ThO2-Bi dispersions (with 350 ppm each of Mg and Zr) were measured in fifty pound batches containing up to 11.5% ThO2 and also in circulating experiments carried out in a ½-in. IPS pumped loop at ThO2 concentrations up to 7.4%. Good results were obtained in all experiments where gas entrainment was prevented or eliminated.
