WE HAVE CRITICALITY!
Oklo has completed first criticality at its Groves Isotope Test Reactor.
Built in less than a year under the @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program, Groves offers a concrete blueprint for future advanced nuclear deployment as the fastest fully privately financed
Advanced nuclear can meet growing energy demand with 24/7 carbon-free electricity, making it an essential climate solution, but it will take the right investments to realize that potential.
At Oklo, we’re taking a deliberate approach to how we deploy capital, build capabilities,
Generating more nuclear power means we need more nuclear fuel. Right now we import most of the uranium for fuel used in the U.S., and experts are raising concerns about fuel supply being able to keep pace with demand. But what if there was a different approach?
At Oklo, we're
For Oklo, achieving first criticality at our Groves Isotope Test Reactor was a milestone in reactor building experience. As CEO Jake Dewitte explains, it was an opportunity to “learn from it and make the next one better.”

Where people see nuclear waste, Oklo sees a resource.
Oklo is developing fuel recycling technology to get more value from existing fuel sources, recover usable material to support future clean energy generation and reduce nuclear waste.
That means greater fuel availability,
