Valar Atomics

Valar Atomics is a nuclear energy startup founded in 2023 by Isaiah Taylor, building hundreds of reactors at one Gigasite for heavy industrial power and clean fuel production. The company became the first startup in history to achieve nuclear criticality with its Nova Core in November 2025, and is pursuing power operations by July 4, 2026 with its Ward250 reactor — a Gen IV design approved by the DOE. Valar Atomics vertically integrates the design, construction, and operation of nuclear reactors with the goal of creating abundant, cheap energy from atomic power for industry and clean fuel synthesis.
