Oklo

Oklo Inc. (operating under oklo.com) is a prominent, publicly traded advanced nuclear fission and nuclear fuel recycling technology corporation engineered to design, build, and operate next-generation clean energy infrastructure at a global scale. Founded in 2013 by MIT graduates Jacob DeWitte and Caroline Cochran, the company is a market leader in the commercialization of small modular reactors (SMRs), backed by key institutional investors including Sam Altman's Hydrazine Capital and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: OKLO). The enterprise's flagship innovation is the Aurora Powerhouse, an award-winning, compact, sodium-cooled fast reactor line capable of producing between 15 and 75 megawatts of electrical power alongside usable thermal energy for industrial co-generation. Utilizing metallic High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), the Aurora system features inherent, physics-driven negative reactivity feedback coefficients—allowing it to automatically self-regulate and safely cool down during temperature spikes without human intervention, electrical power, or moving mechanical parts. Engineered to address the massive, continuous power demands of artificial intelligence data centers, critical industrial facilities, defense bases, and remote communities, Oklo operates on an energy-as-a-service model, delivering power directly via long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) without requiring upfront capital expenditure from clients. Beyond power generation, Oklo is vertically integrating its fuel supply chain by commercializing advanced nuclear fuel recycling and fabrication systems that transform used nuclear fuel (nuclear waste) into fresh reactor fuel, while simultaneously extracting valuable radioisotopes for medical cancer treatments and industrial applications through its Atomic Alchemy subsidiary. With its first commercial powerhouse under active development at the Idaho National Laboratory, Oklo stands at the absolute vanguard of the modern clean energy buildout by replacing antiquated light-water systems with zero-emission, decentralized fast-fission technology.
