Uranium Post Mining Groundwater Quality Modeling and Column Testing

Oklo will partner with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), which has demonstrated gram-scale reduction of UF6 to UF4 through an intermediary compound that significantly reduces the traditional method’s hazards. PNNL has also shown the viability of co-reducing fluorides to metal. The possibility of eliminating the intermediate UF4 production step will have the potential of increased throughput and process safety that will help accelerate deployment of a commercial fabrication facility.

Chlorine Nuclear Data Measurement and Evaluation, TerraPower

This project will perform new measurements of 35Cl(n,p), analyze the experimental data from these measurements, generate new 35Cl and 37Cl cross-section evaluations in ENDF/B format, and assess the impacts of the expected changes to chlorine nuclear data by comparing analysis of MCRE with updated cross-section libraries to results with existing nuclear data.
