"The nuclear power technology that is most common - light water reactors - was originally invented for nuclear submarines. There has actually always been a history of basically pre-fabbing it and looking at it in a shipyard context."
Valar Atomics is focused on creating 'gigasites', which are expansive industrial campuses designed to accommodate hundreds or thousands of small, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. These reactors utilize helium as a coolant and TRISO fuel encased in graphite, enabling them to operate at significantly higher temperatures than traditional light-water reactors.
