Claim 1: “The new contract allows Siemens Energy to lead detailed design and engineering work for a condensing SST-600 steam turbine and an SGen-100A industrial generator for Oklo’s first advanced reactor – the Aurora powerhouse at INL.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found to confirm the claim about Siemens Energy's involvement in turbine/generator design.
