Trump Hosts Valar Atomics CEO in Oval Office
Meeting marks progress on advanced nuclear reactors following recent executive orders.
Isaiah Taylor, founder and CEO of Valar Atomics, joined President Trump, Secretary Wright, and Secretary Burgum in the Oval Office. The visit commemorates executive orders accelerating nuclear power production and a pilot program where companies advanced small modular reactors. Participants highlight a shift from presentations to actual plant construction to meet U.S. energy demands. The event underscores builder readiness and administration support for dense, reliable power sources.
Valar Atomics CEO Isaiah Taylor: "Over the last 30 years, we became more interested in Powerpoint than in power plants, and it's your leadership that is changing that." 🔥
.@POTUS: "Last year, I signed 4 historic executive orders to reignite a wave of progress in America’s nuclear power production and promote this abundant, affordable, unlimited supply of energy for the American people. As part of this effort, I directed @SecretaryWright to establish a pilot program for advanced reactors and to see at least 3 cutting-edge reactors started up safely by the 4th of July... most believed the goal is impossible, but I’m delighted to say that FOUR companies succeeded in meeting that deadline."
