Our Mission

Our expert team is engineering the next atomic age.

Abundant Energy for All Mankind

Since 1942, fewer than 700 commercial reactors have been built, following dozens of different designs.

Valar Atomics is revolutionizing the approach: one standardized design built thousands of times, with a business model engineered for scale. Our approach will deliver abundant clean energy to power humanity's future.

Valar Atomics Is a New Model for Nuclear Power

We’re building hundreds of reactors on one Gigasite, vertically integrating design, construction, and operation. This model productizes nuclear power and amortizes site costs across gigawatts of energy capacity. We’re escaping the constraints of the grid by producing the products that industrial civilization needs: hydrogen, data center power, heavy industrial power, and clean hydrocarbon fuels.

Our Team

We've assembled an expert team of nuclear engineers and physicists with decades of experience researching, designing, and constructing HTGRs.
