Last week Oklo announced the sites for two power plants in Ohio in partnership with the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative. This milestone is a first step to bringing clean, reliable, and affordable energy to the region while fostering job creation and economic growth.
Oklo has received a site use permit from DOE to build the Aurora at INL. We are thankful for the foresight and passion of those at DOE and INL to make this new process and enable this critical step.
