“Oklo’s work in fast fission aims to provide stable, carbon-free electricity for industrial and grid applications while building a secure domestic supply chain for crucial nuclear materials.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found to support or refute the claim about Oklo's fast fission technology.
“Oklo was the first company to secure a site use permit from the US Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, to be allocated fuel from Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and to submit a custom combined licence application for an advanced reactor to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The Wikipedia entry for Aurora mentions construction at INL under the DOE's Reactor Pilot Program, but does not explicitly confirm a site use permit was secured.
