Aalo Atomics Partners with Rockwell Automation for Aalo-X Reactor Control Systems
Aalo Atomics has selected Rockwell Automation to provide control systems for its Aalo-X test reactor, aiding the U.S. Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program. This partnership aims to advance the commercialization of modular nuclear technologies, enhancing system reliability and operational efficiency.

Aalo Atomics has chosen Rockwell Automation to implement its ControlLogix platform for the Aalo-X test reactor, supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program. This initiative seeks to expedite the development and validation of advanced nuclear technologies, with Aalo-X serving as a testbed for modular reactor systems.
The Aalo-X reactor has recently achieved first criticality ahead of its planned target date of July 4, 2026, signaling progress in the development timeline. Rockwell's technologies will enhance operational reliability and facilitate data collection for future commercial deployments. The collaboration is poised to influence the scalability of small modular reactors, which are expected to provide a reliable power source for sectors like AI and industrial applications, potentially reducing costs and deployment times.
