With a small reactor already running Nvidia chips and a partnership with the chip giant, Valar taps into the exploding electricity demand for data centers. Founded by Isaiah Taylor, whose family legacy traces back to the Manhattan Project, the company’s helium-cooled reactors aim to scale to hundreds of units. Yet, regulatory hurdles remain, as Valar sues the NRC over slow licensing for small reactors. Still, with AI’s hunger for power growing, Valar’s bold vision is drawing massive attention and funding—even as the tech and legal landscape evolves.
