In August 2025, Oklo and its subsidiary, Atomic Alchemy, an innovator in radioisotope production, were selected for three of DOE’s 11 projects under the Reactor Pilot Program, after executive orders signed in May 2025 aimed at reinvigorating America’s nuclear energy industry.

The DOE project also followed Oklo Inc.’s (NYSE:OKLO) newly clinched projects last month, including a $1.68 billion fuel recycling facility as the first phase of an Advanced Fuel Center in Tennessee, and its first Aurora powerhouse at the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho.
