Chinese Government Approves Eight New Nuclear Units as Major Reactor Buildout Continues

Government officials in China have given the green light for construction of eight new nuclear reactors, as the country looks to add more electricity to meet growing demand for power.

Each Pod integrates five sodium-cooled, graphite-moderated Aalo-1 microreactors, fueled with low-enriched uranium (LEU+, UO₂), and can scale to gigawatts with a compact footprint and no external water requirements—making onsite colocation feasible. While the Idaho National Laboratory demonstration will focus on the company’s first experimental Aalo-X reactor, the Pod represents Aalo’s long-term commercial vision. Courtesy: Aalo Atomics
