Additional Things to Know About Oklo
A pre-revenue company, Oklo is building its first nuclear reactor in Idaho and seeking to create reactors that are significantly smaller than those that are widely used now. Eventually, the firm would like to sell its power to the U.S. military and large tech firms.
The start-up says that its reactors will offer “robust inherent safety performance” and will be “self-stabilizing, self-controlling, and cooled by natural forces.” As a result, they will be “walk-away safe,” according to the firm. Oklo added that the waste that its reactors generate can be used as fuel.
The firm hopes to launch its first plant in 2027.
