About Valar Atomics

Valar Atomics is an El Segundo, California nuclear startup founded in 2023 that is developing small, mass-manufacturable high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, helium-cooled and TRISO-fueled, to deliver cheap carbon-free power and synthetic fuels. It plans to cluster hundreds or thousands of these reactors at industrial-scale 'gigasites' to power AI data centers, and is building its Ward 250 test reactor under the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program.
