Oklo expands collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory

Oklo (OKLO) announced it had signed a memorandum of understanding, MOU, with Battelle Energy Alliance, BEA, the management and operating contractor for Idaho National Laboratory, INL, to expand collaboration on scientific and technological research and development in areas such as advanced fuel and materials work that are mutually beneficial and support Oklo’s commercial deployment. “This collaboration strengthens U.S. leadership in advanced nuclear and demonstrates how Oklo’s model of deploying fast reactors can also accelerate learning,” said Jacob DeWitte, Oklo co-founder and CEO. “We’re building our first plant as a fully capable commercial product; we’re also building it to learn faster, optimize faster, and keep driving down costs for future deployments.”
