Development of Novel Deconversion Technology

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.

Addressing Gaps in Legacy Data on Fuel Steel Interactions, Oklo, Inc.

To broaden the understanding of fuel-clad chemical interactions (FCCI), Oklo partnered with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to conduct an out-of-pile experimental investigation into FCCI behavior that addresses each of these variables in order to expand the operating envelopes to better align with the Aurora reactor as well as other advanced concepts.
