Aurora powerhouse
DOE approved the preliminary documented safety analysis for the first unit at Idaho National Laboratory on June 11, 2026. Deployment is targeted for 2028.
The numbers
What it is
Aurora is Oklo's metal-fueled fast-fission reactor, rated at 15 to 75 MWe per powerhouse with potential for 100 MWe and above. The first unit is planned for Idaho National Laboratory under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program, and Oklo plans to own and operate the plants and sell power and heat.
Why it matters to the stock. Aurora is the company's core product and its main source of future revenue. Oklo has no NRC approvals for it yet, so timing slips are the main risk for the stock.
