Oklo’s PDC topical report approved for Aurora powerhouse in Idaho

Oklo (OKLO) announced that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the Principal Design Criteria topical report for the Aurora powerhouse currently under construction in Idaho. The PDC topical report was approved on an accelerated review schedule. The approval clears the path for the report to be referenced in future applications and reduces the need to re-review established material. Oklo’s PDC topical report establishes a regulatory framework that defines the fundamental safety, reliability, and performance requirements to guide future reactor licensing and design activities. “This milestone reflects strong work by the Oklo team and timely engagement by the regulator,” said Oklo co-founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte. “Performance-based licensing, clear criteria, and efficient reviews are important to advancing modern nuclear projects safely and responsibly.”
