In less than two months, Oklo’s isotope test reactor will go critical. We’re building, iterating, and executing in real time across power, fuel, and isotopes. Follow our journey: https://lnkd.in/g8z9TXcs

At Idaho National Laboratory, Oklo has moved from site mobilization into deep foundation excavation for our first commercial Aurora powerhouse. What makes this moment significant is not just the physical progress at the site, but the coordinated progress taking shape across the entire project. That includes fuel awarded through Idaho National Laboratory and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), continued licensing advancement through ongoing engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and approval of topical reports establishing the technical and safety basis for our approach. Construction, fuel, and licensing are all advancing together. Oklo is demonstrating what is possible when the critical pieces move forward in parallel.

Fast reactor technology is the foundation that connects Oklo's power, fuel, and isotope business lines into one integrated system. The same reactor technology that produces reliable power can also efficiently use recycled fuel and support the recovery of valuable isotopes. Our fast-fission powerhouses provide clean, always-on electricity while enabling practical fuel recycling, which can produce isotopes for medical, industrial, space, and national security applications. Together, these business lines function as one platform — improving repeatability, reducing supply risk, stabilizing costs, and maximizing value across the nuclear lifecycle.

We’re excited to share that Oklo will be at the American Nuclear Society Annual Conference this year! If you’re attending, stop by our booth to meet the team, learn more about what we’re building, and explore career opportunities across engineering, fuel recycling, licensing, operations, and more. We’re growing quickly and always looking for talented people who want to help shape the future of advanced nuclear energy.

Oklo is partnering with Battelle to integrate Idaho National Laboratory’s Prometheus AI platform into Oklo’s reactor and fuel-system design workflows. The collaboration will apply AI-enabled engineering workflows, modeling, simulation, and technical documentation to support design work and improve engineering efficiency while maintaining human oversight throughout the process. As advanced reactors like the ones Oklo is commercializing move toward deployment, scaling engineering workflows becomes increasingly important. This collaboration combines Oklo’s reactor and fuel development work with INL’s technical expertise and AI infrastructure to help build the systems and tools needed to support the next generation of advanced nuclear deployment.

Big news for Oklo’s Aurora powerhouse site in Idaho: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved our Principal Design Criteria topical report. Completed in less than half the traditional review timeline, the approval establishes the core safety and design framework for our Aurora powerhouse and creates a regulatory foundation that can be referenced in future applications without needing to be re-reviewed, clearing the way for faster and more efficient licensing reviews. For Oklo, this is a critical step toward repeatable deployment that keeps safety at the center. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g9Ew66Yg

Yesterday, Oklo hosted EBR-II veterans and partners with National Reactor Innovation Center | NRIC to mark the start of construction on our Aurora Fuel Fabrication facility at Idaho National Laboratory, where we will repurpose used fuel from EBR-II and use it to power our first Aurora powerhouse. We also had the opportunity to recognize the people behind EBR-II whose decades-long work on advanced fast reactor technology demonstrated inherent safety, and proved the value of fast-fission systems that can run on recycled fuel through an integrated fuel cycle. That work forged the foundations for Oklo’s advanced reactor design today. As a small thank you for their trailblazing leadership, EBR-II veterans in attendance received a commemorative piece modeled after our Aurora powerhouse. It was a special moment connecting past, present, and future, and reflecting on the impact this work will have for generations to come.

Last month, we celebrated a huge milestone for Oklo’s isotopes business line. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted Oklo a license to handle, process, and distribute isotopes – making Oklo the first advanced nuclear company licensed by the NRC to sell isotopes. Isotopes support some of the most critical technologies in modern medicine. They enable advanced cancer treatments and diagnostic imaging that help detect disease earlier and deliver targeted therapies directly to tumors. They also support applications beyond medicine, including space exploration, where specialized isotopes provide heat, power, and other mission-critical capabilities in extreme environments. Demand for isotopes  is growing rapidly, yet global supply chains remain concentrated and vulnerable to disruption. This license marks an important step toward strengthening the domestic supply of critical medical isotopes and advancing commercial production in the U.S. of materials that save lives and enable frontier technologies.

Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte recently joined Bloomberg Television to discuss Oklo’s progress toward criticality and what it takes to bring advanced nuclear systems online. Reaching criticality marks the transition from development into real, operating systems. Our isotope test reactor in Texas is just months away from that milestone.

As demand for computing capabilities accelerates, Oklo is collaborating with NVIDIA and Los Alamos National Laboratory to advance nuclear fuel validation, AI-enabled nuclear R&D, and infrastructure studies in support of future nuclear-powered AI factories. By bringing together teams that work on the cutting edge of energy and AI technology, we’re laying the groundwork for reliable, resilient nuclear-powered computing infrastructure the economy of the future needs.
