Oklo, Inc. (formally UPower Technologies, Inc.) is a Sunnyvale, California company developing a small modular nuclear reactor. The reactor design is less than 30 MWe. It is a uranium metal reactor with molten sodium coolant. The reactor concept is similar to the very successful EBR II reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The reactor is a fast neutron reactor that can operate on a variety of fuels including enriched uranium and plutonium from nuclear weapons and extracted from used fuel rods from light water reactors. The reactor concept is targeting the electrical energy market for remote locations were electrical energy is not available from common grid sources and is often provided by expensive diesel fuel.
