The company focuses on designing and deploying compact fast reactors, aiming to provide clean, safe, and affordable energy at a global scale. \nOklo’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."
