The Five NineThe Five Nine: Can nuclear fix the big data center power problem?This week we’re taking a look at the big bottleneck that could bring the AI revolution to a screeching halt: power. AI requires a lot of high power chips deployed in a LOT of data centers. But while hyperscalers have plans to build up new data centers to support AI demand, they’ve run into power shortages in key areas. They’re particularly feeling the crunch in the U.S. So, we sat down with a pair of guests to figure out how we got into this mess, whether new nuclear plants could be the answer to hyp...2025-05-2932 min

InevitableRedesigning Nuclear Reactors for Mass Manufacturing with AaloMatt Loszak is CEO and co-founder of Aalo Atomics, a startup designing 50-megawatt nuclear power plants made of pods of five 10-megawatt reactors each, targeting the data center market. Inspired by the MARVEL test reactor that his CTO Yasir Arafat led at Idaho National Lab, Aalo pursues parallel DOE and NRC pathways, betting that factory-built, pad-ready nuclear plants can slash cost, schedule, and grid-interconnection delays. Now 45 teammates strong and raising a Series B, Aalo aims to break ground on its first plant within 12 months and go critical the year after, powering the AI era with compact, clean, a...2025-05-1942 min
