Real science investors with access to high level nuclear talent never seemed to think much of this company.
Its financing seems to be Koch Industries, through a strange sort of PR/VC arm they have.
The denial is substantive. I am pro fission but, erm, would rather go with Westinghouse.
- yurtboy 5y agoYou don’t sound pro-fission. This is a novel 1MW micro-reactor with major policy implications that merits public support. Westinghouse and other large reactors have a totally different use case thank Oklo’s design for remote communities.
- microdrum 5y agoNo, Westinghouse has designs for small reactors too. One prob with oklo seems its amateurish funding and founding. The other is that maybe 1 mw isn’t so useful. 100mw makes a difference (with distribution), so does 50kw (without distribution.) What is 1 mw for? An airport, maybe?
