"Nowhere in the country, other than Texas, is anyone willing to step up and build the power plants we need," said Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp.

Kairos Power, Natura Resources, Terrestrial Energy, and Aalo Atomics—are setting up at Texas A&M's Rellis Campus to develop cutting-edge small modular reactor technology.

Kairos Power, Natura Resources, Terrestrial Energy and Aalo Atomics will work toward building small nuclear reactors at A&M's Rellis facility, a 2,400-acre innovation and technology campus in Bryan.

The site at Texas A&M-Rellis is expected to be able to accommodate multiple small modular reactors with a combined electrical output of more than 1 gigawatt. The Texas A&M University System has taken a big step toward bringing more nuclear power to Texas.
