US to repurpose surplus plutonium as fuel for advanced reactors

The U.S. Department of Energy named five companies, including Oklo, to explore turning about 20 metric tonnes of surplus Cold War plutonium into fuel for advanced nuclear reactors, with Oklo planning a collaboration with Newcleo and other participants including Exodys Energy, SHINE Technologies, Standard Nuclear, and Flibe Energy. The move, intended to use weapons-usable material as bridge fuel and attract private funding while ensuring safety, has drawn proliferation concerns and political debate over its economics and defense implications.

Oklo wins NRC license as it pushes toward 2028 commercial nuclear power

Oklo’s stock wavered after earnings, but the Santa Clara-based startup scored a key win when its Atomic Alchemy subsidiary secured the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to handle, process, and distribute isotopes, creating a new revenue stream even as its advanced fast reactors await NRC approval and the company remains pre‑revenue. 2025 net loss rose to $105.7 million on $139.2 million in operating expenses, with $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents, and management signaled ongoing losses and higher investing outlays. Positive developments include a Department of Energy agreement to support its first reactor at Idaho National Laboratory and a Meta Platforms partnership to build a nuclear campus in Ohio, underscoring progress toward Oklo’s goal of commercially deploying power around 2028 despite regulatory and funding uncertainties.

Nuclear Stocks Surge Despite Recent Volatility and Industry Developments

Oklo, a nuclear power startup, experienced a significant stock decline after reaching a record high, amid ongoing developments in small modular reactors (SMRs) and mixed analyst opinions. Despite a 500% increase this year, the stock remains unprofitable with plans to commercialize its first reactor by 2028, while broader nuclear stocks also faced declines. The sector is supported by government backing and strategic partnerships, but valuation concerns persist.
