Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel material from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories.

Oklo is developing next-generation fission powerhouses to produce abundant, affordable, clean energy at a global scale – starting with the Aurora, which can produce 15 MW of electrical power, scalable to 50 MWe, and operate for 10 years or longer before refueling. Oklo's fast reactors incorporate inherent safety features and can be fueled by recycled waste.Oklo made history with the first advanced reactor site use permit, winning access to recycled fuel, and submitting the first ever advanced reactor combined license application.Our world-class team comes from Fortune 500 and global companies, bringing together expertise and experience from a number of industries, from nuclear power, to aerospace, to automotive, to tech to deliver an advanced energy product.
