We need more innovators, more engineers, more strategists, more advocates, more lawyers…okay maybe not more lawyers. But you get the point! We’ve restarted the atomic age. What will you build?

[John Wagner @john_c_wagner]

The path from concept to criticality is real — @AntaresNuclear and @INL just proved it.
@NRICnuclear's Launch Pad program is open to all advanced nuclear technologies ready to move from concept to commercial reality. Built on the success of @EnergyGov Pilot Programs, it's designed to accelerate private sector deployment.
Application deadline: July 8.

@isabelleboemeke @INL @TysonCulver @whatisnuclear Beyond cool that future change makers won’t have to wonder how we did it. Thanks to you, they’ll have a blueprint!

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

This is my best shot at preventing some malicious director from spite casting @ADAMDEVINE to play me in the movie

[isabelle 🪐 @isabelleboemeke]

It’s an honor to follow the nuclear renaissance in real time through The Last Renaissance.

Here are some screen grabs from the footage we got at @INL this past week.

We will drop a video about the race to criticality next month, stay tuned!

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

@wavage_ Will, this is pretty cool. Would love to hop on a call with you and some of my colleagues. Let’s connect.

@Waksman84 (Plus some new friends we make along the way)

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

@jordanbramble Justin is a legend

[Jordan Bramble @jordanbramble]

Some of the great Americans who made Mark-0 possible. Including @Waksman84⁩ @colejust12 @JessGehin @OverReactor1776

Jeff’s work on project Pele began 8 years ago. The program trained operators, improved the regulatory process, and created the fuel line that made our TRISO.

Some critics are downplaying yesterday's accomplishment. I can assure you it was no small achievement. Criticality is the point where design, analysis, fabrication, and testing come together. Yesterday, Antares got there. https://t.co/mqCEvIDstt

@kylekuzma I’ll teach you about the nuclear industry, you teach me to dunk. 🤝🤝

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

@kylekuzma Reach out if you’d like to learn more!

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

@1c905d11c9a4459 More to come!

[Jordan Bramble @jordanbramble]

Two of our closest partners, @colejust12 and @OverReactor1776 who helped us hit this milestone with incredible pace of execution!

[Justin Coleman @colejust12]

Hardware is everything! Progress is inevitable! Teams deliver!! Congrats @AntaresNuclear and @jordanbramble you are an inspiration to us all! First critical advanced reactor in decades. @OverReactor1776 for clear the path!!

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

@john_c_wagner is the greatest visionary to hold the role of Lab Director since the glory days of the Atomic Energy Commission.

[John Wagner @john_c_wagner]

Today, the Antares Mark-0 reactor achieved criticality – the first in @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program to do so and the first new, novel reactor to do so at INL in more than 50 years.

This is zero-power criticality: proof the system works. Congratulations to @AntaresNuclear and thanks to the @INL staff who made it happen.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

America answers the call. President Trump challenged us to deliver advanced reactors by our 250th anniversary, and today we’re already crossing a historic milestone — the first commercial non-light-water reactor gone critical in the U.S. in more than 40 years.

This is what American ingenuity and determination look like. The nuclear renaissance is here.

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

Today, an advanced non-lightwater nuclear reactor reached criticality in the United States for the first time in more than four decades.

Thanks to President Trump unleashing the American Nuclear Renaissance, this was made possible. 🇺🇸

[Jordan Bramble @jordanbramble]

So special to stand on the final concrete stack with @isabelleboemeke @whatisnuclear @OverReactor1776 @JessGehin and the Antares team 12hrs before this reactor turned on!
