I'm still astounded from the incredible groundbreaking last week! So many thanks to our team and too many friends/investors/partners to name.
I'm not sure that what is happening in nuclear or specifically with Oklo has fully sunk in for the whole ecosystem- markets, suppliers, policy makers, etc.
In the last couple weeks we announced groundbreaking and start of construction of our first plant, Aurora-INL being part of the Reactor Pilot Program-- effectively de-risking the regulatory path, and our recycling facility-- effectively de-risking a domestic, cost effective, and nearly limitless fuel source. In the last few months we raised over a billion dollars to make this all happen.
This is just the beginning...
We held a groundbreaking ceremony for Oklo’s very first powerhouse in Idaho, at @INL.
This first facility is a part of the @ENERGY Reactor Pilot Program, a pathway created in response to recent executive orders to accelerate advanced nuclear deployment in the United States.
We’re honored to host so many of Oklo’s earliest supporters and current champions, including:
INL Director @john_c_wagner
U.S. Environmental Protections Agency Administrator @epaleezeldin
Idaho Governor @GovernorLittle
Utah Governor @SpencerJCox
U.S. Senators @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch
U.S. Congressman @CongMikeSimpson
Idaho Lieutenant Governor @ltgovernorbedke
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Commissioner Bradley Crowell
U.S. Department of Energy’s Michael Goff and Robert Boston
Idaho Falls Mayor @CasperForMayor

It was surreal to be able to be in the West Wing yesterday, but far more so, it was surreal to see these historic changes for nuclear deployment come to pass.
I think the last time i was in the White House was when Obama held a nuclear roundtable. From Obama to Trump 1 to Biden to Trump 2, we have seen national support for advanced nuclear continuously grow.
Let's go!
🇺🇸From the White House: Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte joined President Trump today as he signed Executive Orders to fast-track nuclear deployment, including regulatory path, fuel, and sites.
