Fuel availability remains one of the biggest constraints facing advanced nuclear.
Today, Oklo and @Centrus_Energy signed a Letter of Intent for the supply of domestically sourced HALEU to support Oklo’s planned Aurora powerhouse deployment and 1.2 GW Clean Energy Campus in southern Ohio. The agreement would provide enough HALEU to support multiple years of reactor cores, covering up to five Aurora powerhouses.
The agreement helps connect fuel supply, power generation, customer demand, and project execution in one region.
Fuel. Power. Demand. Execution.
That’s how advanced nuclear gets built.

From cancer therapy to space exploration, radioisotopes have an under-appreciated yet outsized positive impact on human life.
I’m so grateful to be working with everyone in this video to fundamentally transform the radioisotope supply chain.
At Oklo, our isotope work is personal.
Some members of our team have spent decades advancing the technology that shows up in critical moments, from disease diagnosis and cancer care to space exploration.
That dedication shows up in how Oklo is built, and shapes how we think about deployment, bringing power, fuel, and isotopes together into a single platform designed to deliver more from nuclear technology.

@NucSafetyUCS I can remember when Oklo’s stock dropped a bit one time after their IPO and you made some dour, dire prediction. This tweet reminds me of that one.
The US did targeted alpha therapies and other theranostic agents 50 years ago, and they were dried [sic?] because the targeting agents were too crude, slow, and immunogenic to deliver a tumor-killing dose without irradiating too much of the patient.
Not sure why we have to try again to relearn that lesson again!
Oh wait.
One year ago, America recommitted itself to a nuclear renaissance. One year later, Oklo is helping make it real.
Construction is advancing at our first commercial Aurora powerhouse at @INL. Licensing work continues moving forward with the @NRCgov and DOE. We broke ground on our isotope reactor in Texas and are targeting criticality by July 4th.
Construction. Fuel. Licensing. Isotopes. Partnerships.
The pieces are moving together faster than many thought possible.
Today Jake and I signed the Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Groves Test Facility building structure. In 229 days, we turned a green field into a beautiful building with all of the infrastructure needed to support long-term operations. Our operators and research staff will have a beautiful break room, bathrooms, and a meeting space. Massive shoutout to our partners at HillSide Architecture, PLLC and BCER for designing a beautiful building and working so many late nights to get through an entire facility design sprint in a timeframe that I think would make General Groves proud.
73 days left until Independence Day. 🥲

@Waksman84@SecRollins@JohnCornyn Would love to chat with whomever is in charge of Co-60 procurement. Our isotope production reactor is almost ready to go! Would love to support this noble endeavor.
