Notes
2026-09-24 verification: company materials confirm HTGR/gigasite and Ward-250 work, but no Prometheus-specific role disclosure; role remains null and confidence low. Vertically integrated HTGR developer (Ward 250; test reactor hosted at Utah San Rafael Energy Lab; criticality under DOE Reactor Pilot Program per WNN; powered an NVIDIA Blackwell chip in a reported US-first demo; 30 MW waterless 'AI factory' collaboration with NVIDIA reported 2026-07). Prior raise lead now resolved: the $1B Sequoia-led Series B (plus $200M credit facility) was confirmed on the company's docs page, announced 2026-08-04. Prometheus-specific role still not public; role remains null and confidence remains low.
