Operation Windlord behind the scenes master thread. Hundreds of people across DOE, DOW, and our own Valar team worked tirelessly to perform this demonstration. Thanks for following along for the first-ever C-17 airlift of a nuclear reactor. Now on to power operations by July 4.

Today, we’re exited to partner with the Department of War and Department of Energy on Operation Windlord. Three C-17s will be transporting our Ward250 reactor from March ARB to Hill AFB. Here’s a peek at what it took to bring this operation to life. (Part 1)

We've always said that we won't sell merch until we split an atom. But we went a step further. From now on you can only get Valar merch from the nuclear website, which is powered by a live reactor. Site will be up for another day or so and then operators are taking a break

.@valaratomics just made history by becoming the first startup to power an NVIDIA Blackwell with a nuclear reactor. Watch the full conversation as @saranormous joins founder and CEO @isaiah_p_taylor at the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab, home to the Ward 250 microreactor.

Today, Valar Atomics became the first nuclear startup to make electricity, and we did it by powering an NVIDIA Spark. This is the first meeting of advanced nuclear and AI; two technologies which will transform the next century. But that’s only the start of our collaboration.

We also announced today that Valar Atomics and NVIDIA are collaborating on a 30MW closed loop end to end AI factory, which consumes no water from the local community. This is only possible when two technologies come together: waterless power generation and waterless AI cooling.

Today’s historical milestone is the culmination of years of careful but rapid work from the Valar Atomics team. We’re so grateful and excited for this new partnership—and it’s only the beginning.

Valar Atomics Inc., a California-based nuclear startup, generated power from an advanced reactor to run an Nvidia Corp. AI chip. While just a trickle of electricity was produced, it’s the first time a next-gen reactor has done so in the US. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

BREAKING: @valaratomics has begun a loss-of-forced-cooling test on its Ward 250 nuclear reactor, shutting off all powered cooling and simulating a total electrical failure. The plant has been fully de-energized, and all electrical systems are offline. Valar will monitor the reactor over the next several days as it relies solely on passive systems to remove decay heat, testing one of the most critical failure modes in nuclear power.

Good morning. Last night at 8:51pm Mountain Time, the Valar Atomics Nuclear Operations team brought Ward 250 to 10kW thermal output. We held this power level throughout the night. This is another historic milestone from the Valar team, marking first nuclear power by a startup.
