Oklo Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has successfully completed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) pre-application readiness assessment for Phase 1 of its combined license application (COLA) for the first commercial Aurora powerhouse at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

The assessment revealed no significant gaps that would impede application acceptance, with the NRC providing observations to help finalize the application. Oklo has been actively engaging with the NRC since 2016, having already secured an approved Quality Assurance Program Description and advanced various licensing elements including safety analysis and operational protocols.

The company plans to submit the first phase of the Aurora-INL COLA this year, with its licensing strategy designed to support efficient and repeatable deployment of Aurora powerhouses for commercial and Federal customers.

Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) has selected Kiewit Nuclear Solutions Co. as the lead constructor for its first commercial Aurora powerhouse at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Under a Master Services Agreement, pre-construction is expected to begin in 2025 with commercial operations targeted for late 2027 to early 2028.

The project represents a significant milestone in Oklo's commercialization strategy, leveraging Kiewit's extensive experience in large-scale industrial projects. The company has already completed key pre-construction milestones, including site characterization work, and has secured necessary approvals from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Aurora-INL project is part of Oklo's broader deployment pipeline, which includes agreements to supply over 14 GW of clean energy to commercial customers and U.S. government partners.

Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) has announced strategic collaborations with Hexium and TerraPower to accelerate domestic production of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) using advanced laser enrichment technology. The partnership, which includes Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will evaluate Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) technology for commercial-scale uranium enrichment.

The collaboration addresses a critical bottleneck in U.S. advanced nuclear reactor deployment, with the DOE projecting a need for up to 40 metric tons of HALEU annually by the early 2030s. Currently, domestic production is limited to ~700kgs since 2023. The AVLIS technology offers advantages over traditional centrifuge-based approaches, including greater precision, energy efficiency, and a simplified enrichment process.

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has received a Notice of Intent to Award from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy to provide clean power through its Aurora powerhouse at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The project, serving as the Department of Air Force's microreactor pilot program, aims to enhance energy resilience for critical national security infrastructure. Under the anticipated agreement, Oklo will design, build, own, and operate the power plant, delivering both electricity and heat under a long-term power purchase agreement. The Aurora powerhouse design utilizes fast reactor technology to provide continuous, resilient energy that can operate independently from the grid, making it particularly suitable for remote installations like Eielson Air Force Base.

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has achieved a significant regulatory milestone as the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) begins reviewing its Licensed Operator Topical Report. This development follows Oklo's entry into the NRC's Readiness Assessment Audit for Phase 1 of its Combined License Application. The company is proposing an innovative licensing model for its Aurora powerhouse operators, allowing them to oversee multiple facilities from a central location, unlike traditional nuclear plants that require 24/7 onsite operators. This efficiency is made possible through automatic controls and inherent safety features of the Aurora technology. As Oklo follows a business model of selling power rather than power plants, the company maintains ownership and operational control of its powerhouses, aligning with their strategy for scalable deployment and streamlined licensing pathways.

Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) has expressed support for newly announced White House executive orders aimed at accelerating advanced nuclear energy development and strengthening U.S. nuclear fuel security. CEO Jacob DeWitte joined President Trump and other industry leaders at the White House for the signing ceremony. The executive orders focus on:

• Expediting approval and adoption of advanced nuclear technology
• Reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
• Restoring domestic nuclear supply chains
• Streamlining testing and licensing processes

Oklo, which develops fast fission power plants capable of recycling used nuclear material, holds unique positions including an active DOE site use permit, a fuel award through DOE/Idaho National Laboratory, and regulatory engagement with NRC for its first commercial power plant. The company's technology can utilize both fresh High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium and recycled nuclear material.
