Antares achieves reactor criticality under Trump plan
Antares Nuclear's Mark-0 microreactor achieved criticality at Idaho National Laboratory, marking the first advanced reactor to reach this milestone in the U.S. under a Department of Energy pilot program established after President Trump’s 2025 executive orders for accelerating nuclear development. This achievement demonstrates the potential of privately developed non-light-water reactors and meets the targeted schedule for criticality, set for July 2026. The milestone supports future reactor development, with plans to generate electricity by 2027 and deploy microreactors to U.S. military sites by 2028.
