Founders Matt Loszak and Yasir Arafat are abandoning the decade-long construction timelines of traditional power plants. Instead, they are centennial cup treating nuclear energy like tech hardware—mass-producing "Cybertruck-sized," walkaway-safe reactors straight from a factory assembly line.
From raising hundreds of millions of dollars at record speeds to fundamentally redefining nuclear safety using simple physics, step inside the Austin-based factory racing to power our future.
