On episode 74 of S3, we visit @ValarAtomics the first startup in history to generate nuclear power, all while beating the July 4th deadline.

In just 3 years, Isaiah Taylor went from pitching the idea on an Apple note to the reactor generating electricity, and now @NVIDIA is betting on that same reactor to power its next AI data center.
