nuclear energy stocks are on fire 🔥

🟢 Oklo ($OKLO) shares surged 29% on Wednesday after the company was named the intended awardee for a Department of Defense project to deliver clean energy to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA), designating Oklo as the preferred provider following a competitive evaluation process. Under the proposed agreement, Oklo will design, build, own, and operate an Aurora powerhouse—a microreactor that provides both electricity and heat—at the remote military base. ➡️ Oklo Inc. is an advanced nuclear technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, founded in 2013 by Jacob DeWitte and Caroline Cochran, both MIT graduates. The company focuses on designing and deploying compact fast reactors, aiming to provide clean, safe, and affordable energy at a global scale. Oklo’s flagship product is the Aurora powerhouse, a small, liquid metal-cooled fast reactor designed to generate between 15 and 75 megawatts of electrical power (MWe). This reactor can operate for up to 10 years without refueling and is intended for off-grid applications such as data centers, artificial intelligence infrastructure, remote communities, industrial sites, and military bases.
