The Aurora powerhouse project aligns with the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program, initiated following President Donald Trump’s executive order earlier this year aimed at accelerating nuclear energy development and updating nuclear licenses. In total, Oklo has received two additional projects under this initiative, one being directed to a subsidiary of Atomic Alchemy.
Doug Burgham, the U.S. Secretary of Interior, remarked that “Oklo Inc.’s Aurora Powerhouse offers clean, affordable, and dependable American energy, fostering a new era of advanced manufacturing across the nation.”
