Oklo(@oklo):Oklo co-founder and COO @caorilne joined @PaulHShapiro on the Business for Good podcast to discuss her decade-long journey building Oklo and why Groves reaching criticality means much more than just starting up a reactor. Built from the ground up in less than a year, the Groves Isotope Test Reactor gave Oklo hands-on experience across engineering, construction, regulatory execution, operator training, security, quality assurance, startup, and operations. That experience creates a foundation Oklo can build on to advance commercial-scale isotope production, fuel fabrication, and planned Aurora powerhouse deployments. Listen to the full conversation:
