Nuclear microreactors developed separately by Westinghouse and Radiant are poised to become the first fueled designs tested ...

The race to dominate next-gen nuclear power just hit ignition at Idaho’s Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments. The Department of Energy has conditionally selected Westinghouse and Radiant to ...

IDAHO FALLS — Experimental Breeder Reactor-I, located 50 miles west of Idaho Falls on U.S. Highway 20, will open for the 2025 season starting Friday, May 23, and running through Labor Day. The ...

Oklo's mission is to develop compact, next-gen nuclear reactors that are efficient, "walk-away safe," and capable of turning ...

The similar US EBR-II operated from 1964 to 1994, including simulated emergencies like a sudden shutdown at full power, demonstrating the passive safety of these pool-type sodium-cooled reactors ...

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Looking for a fun, free and nerdy day trip? Experimental Breeder Reactor-I, located 50 miles west of Idaho Falls on U.S. 20, will open for the 2023 season starting ...

Carole and I stared at our ginormous atomic burger from the counter stools at Pickle’s Place in Arco, Idaho, population 879. She wondered how we were going to eat it. I was more concerned if it was ...

Experimental Breeder Reactor I will be open to the public from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. Wednesday, the 72nd anniversary of the date it produced a usable amount of electricity.

In 2020, INL announced it would provide Oklo with access to five tonnes of recovered spent nuclear fuel from the EBR-II reactor to develop and demonstrate the Aurora microreactor.

Oklo’s design is based on the 20 MWe Experimental Breeder Reactor II, which operated between 1964 and 1994, meaning it is grounded in some real-world experience.

Development of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-I, as the reactor that powered the lightbulbs was known, began in the late 1940s, as the United States government sought to develop a nuclear ...
