The US DOE has selected microreactors from Westinghouse and Radiant as the first to be tested at the DOME facility at Idaho ...

The US Department of Energy has made conditional selections for Westinghouse and Radiant Nuclear to perform the first tests in the National Reactor Innovation Center's Demonstration of Microreactor ...

Canada-based ARC Clean Technology, a leading developer of advanced nuclear technology, and Swiss-American infrastructure ...

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

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

Nuclear energy is key to a clean power future. Recent technological advances and policy support are improving the outlook.

Oklo's reactor design is modeled after the government's EBR-II (Experimental Breeder Reactor-II), a liquid-metal-cooled, metal-fueled fast reactor that operated safely for 30 years (1964-1994).

The site, backed by a 2019 DOE site use permit, will also host Oklo’s Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility, which will produce HALEU metallic fuel recycled from the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II.

First, it's based on a fast fission plant (Experimental Breeder Reactor-II) that the U.S. government operated from 1964 to 1994, so the technology is proven.

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 ...

An undated photo shows an aerial view of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II, when it was still running. A number of Argonne National Laboratory-West workers who spent time at the reactor and ...
