Oklo CEO Jake DeWitte joined @MariaBartiromo on @MorningsMaria to discuss why Groves reaching criticality is about much more than one reactor. Built in less than a year, Groves demonstrates a new model for advanced nuclear: build, learn, scale, and iterate. As the fastest fully privately financed and built reactor project of its kind, it shows how industry-led innovation, supported by smart policy, can accelerate deployment while helping strengthen America's energy future and domestic isotope production. Watch the interview:

Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte joined @CNBCMorningCall to discuss two major milestones for Oklo: startup authorization for our Groves Isotope Test Reactor and our founding membership in Prometheus. Yesterday’s @ENERGY authorization clears the way to load fuel and bring the fastest privately built reactor of its kind to first criticality. This week, Oklo also joined Prometheus, a DOE-supported initiative led by @INL to unleash AI across the nuclear lifecycle. Both of these milestones reflect the momentum behind a new era of nuclear development and the opportunity to use AI to help deliver clean, reliable power more quickly.  Watch:

Oklo’s momentum is changing the paradigm of how we build advanced nuclear in the United States. Our Groves isotope test reactor is the only reactor built on privately owned land using commercially sourced fuel, equipment, and systems to receive Documented Safety Analysis approval under the @ENERGY Reactor Pilot Program. Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte spoke with @LizClaman on @FoxBusiness about how this project is establishing a new blueprint for how nuclear can scale in America:

Carla is Oklo’s Technical Advisor, with 30 years of experience building and operating nuclear infrastructure. Today, she's helping rebuild America's domestic supply of isotopes, starting with Oklo's Groves Isotope Test Reactor, a project that will expand domestic isotope production while demonstrating a faster, more scalable approach to advanced nuclear deployment. Hear, in her own words, why this work is so meaningful.

GREEN LIGHT FOR STARTUP: @ENERGY has authorized Oklo’s Groves Isotope Test reactor to begin nuclear operations. This startup authorization clears the facility and team to bring in fuel, run startup tests, and proceed toward first criticality under its startup plan. 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.
