The Finish Line Was a Starting Gun

On July 4, 2026, four advanced nuclear reactors achieved criticality under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program - shattering decades-old timelines. But criticality isn't the finish line. We examine what these breakthroughs actually mean, why industry frontrunners missed the deadline, and the multi-year NRC licensing challenge ahead. This is the real story behind America's nuclear acceleration. Watch to discover: The four reactors that made history (Antares Mark-0, Valar Ward 250, Deployable Energy Unity, Aalo-X), why criticality doesn't equal power generation, the regulatory pathway that changed everything, and what comes next for commercial deployment.
