Oklo develops advanced small modular nuclear reactors designed to deliver clean, reliable baseload power with unmatched efficiency. Its flagship Aurora Powerhouse leverages fast-reactor technology and recycled nuclear fuel to provide decades-long operation without refueling, positioning Oklo at the intersection of decarbonization, AI-driven data-center power demand, and U.S. energy security. With strong government validation, pending NRC approval, and early traction across defense and hyperscale customers, Oklo offers a differentiated, low-CAPEX path to nuclear commercialization. The upside case is regulatory clarity and first deployments catalyzing long-term power purchase agreements, driving a rerating as Oklo emerges as a pure-play leader in next-generation nuclear infrastructure.
