COMING SOON: Oklo’s first Aurora powerhouse at Idaho National Laboratory.

The Aurora-INL is our first planned commercial powerhouse and an opportunity to build the playbook for the powerhouses that follow. Every step, from construction and supply chain ex*****on to system integration and authorization, is helping us learn how to build faster, smarter, and at scale.

With a 2028 startup in sight, we’re turning years of engineering into something much bigger than a single project. We’re building the foundation for a new approach to nuclear power.

What does Oklo’s progress mean for the work ahead?

On S&P Global’s Energy Evolution podcast, Oklo CFO Craig Bealmear discusses how the opportunity for advanced nuclear has changed and why ex*****on will determine which companies deliver.

Craig talks about Oklo’s Groves Isotope Test Reactor, which went from a greenfield site to criticality in less than a year, and gave Oklo concrete experience in construction, procurement, and bringing a nuclear facility into operation. Delivering electricity from our Aurora powerhouses will require applying many of those lessons from Groves, with fuel supply, construction capability, and supply chains central to our ability to deploy.

For those following Oklo’s long-term progress, Craig explains what we’ve accomplished and what we need to build for the next stage.

After building our Groves Isotope Test Reactor from the ground up and bringing it to criticality in less than a year, Oklo has been selected to advance Groves 2 Forge as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy's Launch Pad initiative.

Groves 2 Forge builds directly on what we learned at Groves 1. We plan to integrate isotope production and processing together in one facility with an initial focus on lutetium-177, an isotope used in targeted cancer treatments.

We are taking what we demonstrated at Groves and moving toward commercial-scale isotope production, while building the experience and infrastructure needed to strengthen America’s domestic isotope supply.

Groves 1 showed how quickly we can build. Groves 2 is about building on that momentum to produce materials that can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Ohio has a proud legacy of manufacturing, innovation, and building the infrastructure that powers America. We're thrilled to build on that foundation by partnering with The Ohio State University to help develop the talent that will carry it into the next era of nuclear energy.

Through $4.5 million in combined support, our partnership will help Ohio State launch a new undergraduate nuclear engineering major in fall 2027, while expanding hands-on learning, research facilities, faculty support, and student scholarships.

That includes expanding the university's Nuclear Reactor Laboratory and establishing the new Oklo Experiential Engineering Education Lab, giving students more opportunities to turn classroom learning into real-world engineering experience.

Building the next generation of nuclear energy means building the next generation of nuclear engineers alongside it. As we advance our plans for nuclear deployment in Ohio, we're proud to invest in the people who will help bring those plans to life.

Not every podcast is recorded at the site of a functioning nuclear reactor.

Shortly after reaching criticality at the Groves Isotope Test Reactor, Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte welcomed The Best One Yet onsite for a look inside the infrastructure and approach that made it happen.

Their conversation explored the lessons learned from Groves as the fastest-built fully privately financed reactor project of its kind, as well as how Oklo’s integrated platform across power, fuel, and isotopes is creating a more flexible path to scaling advanced nuclear.

They also discussed what comes next for Oklo, from meeting growing demand for clean, reliable power to investing in domestic fuel capabilities to get ahead of constraints and producing critical isotopes for medicine, space, and other essential applications.

Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business to discuss why Groves reaching criticality is about much more than one reactor.

Built in less than a year, the Groves Isotope Test Reactor is the fastest-built, privately financed reactor project of its kind.

More importantly, it demonstrates a new model for advanced nuclear: build, learn, scale, and iterate. As Jake shared, rising demand from AI, advanced manufacturing, electrification, and medical isotopes is creating a new era for nuclear, and America is well positioned to lead it.

Groves is more than a milestone. It's a blueprint for deploying advanced reactors faster while helping strengthen U.S. energy leadership and domestic isotope production.

WE HAVE CRITICALITY!

Oklo has completed first criticality at its Groves Isotope Test Reactor.

Built in less than a year under the ’s Reactor Pilot Program, Groves offers a concrete blueprint for future advanced nuclear deployment as the fastest fully privately financed and built reactor project of its kind.

Today, Oklo proves that advanced reactors can be built, started, and operated faster than anyone thought possible and shows the world that America can build nuclear again.

We’re beginning our .
As we approach initial criticality, our engineers and operators will take you inside our Groves Isotope Test Reactor as they conduct the startup tests.

Our team has loaded the initial core, tested the control rods and protection systems, and brought purified water into the core under tight chemistry control. These steps are a deliberate “preflight check” that builds confidence that the reactor and its systems are behaving as expected.

These startup tests do more than demonstrate our developing blueprint for future commercial deployments–they show that American nuclear can move from design to startup on timelines that are measured in months rather than years.

GREEN LIGHT FOR STARTUP: U.S. Department of Energy has authorized Oklo’s Groves Isotope Test Reactor to receive nuclear fuel and begin startup activities.

This startup authorization clears the facility and team to load fuel, run startup tests, and proceed toward first criticality under its startup plan.

For Oklo, this is more than a reactor milestone. It is an organizational readiness milestone.

In just over 10 months, Groves completed engineering, construction, commissioning, development of operating programs, personnel training, and DOE readiness across all core requirements. Oklo chose the harder path to build a repeatable deployment model on private land using commercially procured fuel and equipment so future Aurora powerhouses, isotope facilities, and fuel cycle projects can build on proven deployment capabilities instead of starting from scratch.

Lessons from Groves are already informing how we build our other capabilities, demonstrating how advanced nuclear can move faster under DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program while keeping safety front and center.

We were proud to welcome U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright to Idaho National Laboratory, where our first commercial Aurora powerhouse is advancing from planning to building.

At INL, we are progressing on multiple fronts. Construction, fuel, licensing, and engineering are advancing in parallel, compressing timelines and demonstrating a pace of ex*****on that few believed was possible just a few years ago.

Together with the strides we're making toward criticality at our Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Texas, this work is bigger than individual milestones. It is Oklo building full civil nuclear facilities, and demonstrating the capabilities required to build, fuel, license, and deploy advanced nuclear in the United States.

We're grateful for Secretary Wright's leadership and the continued partnership of DOE and INL as we work together to turn advanced nuclear from ambition into deployment.
