A huge thanks to @ENERGY, @GovNuclear, @Google, @TVAnews, @ORNL, @cityofoakridge and @RoanecoTNgov for their support.
Special thanks to @RepChuck and @GovBillLee for their recorded remarks.
Let's get to work!

We just broke ground on our second advanced reactor in East Tennessee.
Hermes 2 will be our first power-producing reactor and the first deployment under our deal with Google to bring clean, reliable power to the region.

"I think a lot of people recognize the value of what nuclear can bring but are still a little bit nervous about whether it can actually be done. Credibility can be very hard to earn, but it can be lost very quickly."
- Mike Laufer, Kairos Power CEO.
Solid read by @ivanlpenn in today's @nytimes highlighting our unique approach toward new reactor deployment.

Thank you @CBSSunday and @Pogue for spotlighting advanced nuclear’s role in powering a clean energy future. Come back to Oak Ridge anytime and watch our progress. 🏗️
Big tech companies, including Google, Apple, and Microsoft, invest heavily in clean energy. Google is backing small modular nuclear reactors, a new type of plant that’s smaller, stackable, and always on—key for powering AI data centers. Partnering with Kairos Power, Google aims to bring advanced nuclear online by 2030.

My “@CBSSunday Morning" story today: Why is @Microsoft paying to restart Three Mile Island? The Big Tech companies all have big goals to produce zero carbon pollution by 2030—but AI is so power-hungry that they won't make it without nuclear!

What a beautiful day we had celebrating our clean energy future! Proud of this amazing team building big things in Albuquerque. 👷🏻♀️
Big day yesterday! Kairos Power held a dedication ceremony for its Albuquerque Manufacturing Development Campus and broke ground on a new facility to produce molten salt coolant for advanced reactors, starting with Hermes in Tennessee. Read the story: kairospower.com/external_upd…

Grab your shovels! 👷🏻♀️
The future of clean energy is happening now and it’s being built in Tennessee. Congrats to the entire Kairos Power team for reaching this significant milestone.
Kairos Power has started construction on the Hermes Demonstration Reactor. The first and only Gen IV reactor to be approved for construction by @NRCgov, Hermes will be a critical step toward commercializing Kairos Power's advanced reactor technology.

Good summary of the Biden admin's latest climate policy wins. He's done more to fight climate change than any other president in history. If only he'd be more vocal about it. Via @curious_founder open.substack.com/pub/michae…

@POTUS is investing billions in nuclear energy to create jobs across the country and drive down emissions to help meet the nation's climate goals.

#Electricity and today's #SolarEclipse:
☀️ 6.5 GW of U.S. #solarpower capacity will be in the path of the total eclipse
☀️ 84.8 GW of capacity will have the sun partially blocked around peak solar generating time

"With this fiscally responsible approach, @KairosPower has real skin in the game. The company bears the upfront risk, taking financial responsibility for any work required to complete a milestone," the company told POWER. #nuclear powermag.com/doe-kairos-unve…

You have to be a leading lady but you can’t be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you can’t be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you can’t be nominated for best original song.
The first Gen IV reactor in the U.S. to receive a construction permit. Congratulations to the Kairos Power team on a historic achievement. ⚛️
BREAKING: @NRCgov has voted to issue a construction permit to Kairos Power for the Hermes demonstration reactor to be built in Oak Ridge, TN – a critical step on our iterative pathway to commercializing advanced reactor technology. Read more: kairospower.com/external_upd…
If SD stadium operators get out of this scandal without donating serious $$$ to legit charities, they’re endorsing the grift, imo
Next chapter of this investigation has dropped: Often, the supposed volunteers staffing concession stands at major venues across San Diego are actually being paid under-the-table and below minimum wage. voiceofsandiego.org/2023/11/…

Today, @NRCgov convened its mandatory hearing on Kairos Power’s construction permit application for the Hermes demonstration reactor to be built in Oak Ridge – the final step in the NRC's CPA review, which follows the safety & environmental reviews completed earlier this year. 🧵
