Oklo

To augment the supply of dispatch­able, carbon-free electricity, the world needs a new generation of safe, small, easy-to-build nuclear fission plants. Oklo is developing an advanced fast neutron reactor fueled by high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) — the waste from conven­tional reactors — which can provide more power per volume than the traditional light-water reactor designs found in all presently operating commercial nuclear power plants.
