That’s the point. It’s ancient, well known tech that the NRC will pass in a future application cycle. This was a smart play by Oklo to reveal the issues so they can resubmit thoughtfully.

Thankfully, the situation is more nuanced and better researched than Canary implies. This is what forward progress looks like for clean energy

Oklo has the competency to pull this off. This is 50 year old tech and is not hard to build or operate.

You 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.

Because this is American technology and we absolutely need to roll it out here before we export the technology and end energy poverty. This technology is a major foreign policy play.

Did you see their application? I thought it was brilliant. It’s forcing the NRC to innovate and grow. This is amazing American innovation.

Nuclear fuel can be reused in Oklo’s reactor. This will reduce the dangerous isotopes, which will decay in less than 1,000 years. Look under the bed again, no need to fear the boogeyman. We won’t decommission the site, we will upgrade it an

Oklo should proudly resubmit asap. This is clearly procedural to reset the NRC’s application timer. Oklo can go back and forth with the NRC 10 more times for all I care. A 1MW generator is disruptive microgrid tech, worth the wait. Oklo’s i
