They just raised their series A round a week ago so they went from zero to splitting the atom entirely on their $19m seed.

Today, Valar Atomics became the first startup in history to split the atom. Announcing Project Nova, a series of zero power critical tests on Valar Atomics' Nova Core in collaboration with Los Alamos NCERC and NNSS. Nova went critical for the first time this morning at 11:45am.

Can’t wait to tell someone that one company split the atom for $19M so I don’t get why they’re raising half that for a software company.

There was a teenager a few decades ago who made a breeder reactor in his back yard. He had a lot less than $19 million.

Guess you didn't read “announced today that Valar Atomics’ NOVA Core has achieved zero-power criticality at LANL’s National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS).” Valar hardware didn't split anything.

Pile 1 was just a kiln. This isn't rocket science here: put refined material into close proximity.

That's both a terrible and a timely analogy given that a CEO of one of the nuclear smr frauds came out last week as a quantum mechanics "denier". And absolutely nobody even noticed.
