👉 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

➤ 𝗢𝗸𝗹𝗼's 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 achieved first criticality.

➤ Milestone was reached less than 𝟭 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 after groundbreaking.

➤ Reactor advanced under the 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗗𝗢𝗘 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺.

➤ First RPP reactor to achieve criticality on 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 from a greenfield site.

➤ Groves establishes the foundation for future 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

➤ Project demonstrates U.S. nuclear deployment can be measured in 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀, not years.

➤ DOE authorization enabled parallel engineering, construction, and safety reviews.

➤ Experience gained will support future 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗲, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲, and 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 deployments.

➤ Groves supports domestic isotope production for healthcare, industry, space, and national security.

👉 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:

➤ Validates Oklo's ability to rapidly deploy advanced nuclear technology.

➤ Strengthens U.S. domestic isotope production and nuclear supply chain capabilities.

➤ Demonstrates a faster regulatory pathway for advanced reactor commercialization.

➤ Could accelerate investor confidence in next-generation nuclear energy deployment.

𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝗪𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲, Co-founder and CEO of Oklo:

“Reaching criticality in less than a year is an incredible milestone for our team. Oklo developed Groves from a greenfield site on private land, completed full-scale civil excavation and construction, manufactured or commercially procured all components, including fuel, and developed its operating programs in-house. Taken together, we believe these accomplishments establish a new benchmark for the Reactor Pilot Program and set the stage for the future of advanced nuclear deployment at scale.”

𝗧𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵, Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy:

"Thanks to President Trump's precedent-setting directive to create the Reactor Pilot Program, Oklo's Groves Isotope Test Reactor is part of the revival of America's nuclear energy industry. We applaud the work of the Oklo, DOE, and Idaho National Laboratory staff who helped achieve this milestone."

𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗴 𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁, Governor of Texas:

“Texas is leading America’s nuclear renaissance by advancing the technologies that will power innovation and strengthen our nation's future. From expanding our nuclear workforce to rebuilding critical domestic supply chains, Texas is creating the foundation for the next generation of advanced nuclear development. Congratulations to Oklo on reaching this important milestone, which will help expand isotope production for critical medical therapies and reinforce Texas' leadership in nuclear innovation.”
