Oklo is proud to be among the 12 developers joining @GovNuclear’s Nuclear Energy Launch Pad initiative, run by the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC). The Initiative builds on the success of @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program, giving participants a prioritized pathway to DOE authorization backed by national lab infrastructure, technical expertise, and regulatory support tailored to each project. Oklo has advanced three projects through the original Reactor Pilot Program, including our Groves Isotope Test Reactor, which was built and taken from greenfield to criticality in less than a year.  Selection for the Launch Pad builds on what Groves demonstrated: advanced nuclear can move quickly when the right technology, infrastructure, and regulatory pathways come together. That model is gaining momentum across the industry and helping move a new generation of American nuclear projects toward deployment.
