Oklo Inc. has secured a landmark agreement with Meta to develop a 1.2 GW advanced nuclear power campus on a 206-acre site in Pike County, Ohio. Under the terms, Meta will prepay for future electricity deliveries and provide multi-billion-dollar funding to de-risk Oklo’s Phase 1 Aurora powerhouse deployment. Oklo plans to use these funds to procure nuclear fuel and advance site preparation, targeting regulatory milestones this year and initial power output as early as 2030.

In parallel, Oklo signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy to design, construct and operate a radioisotope production pilot plant through its Atomic Alchemy subsidiary. This facility will address critical domestic shortages of medical and industrial isotopes by leveraging Oklo’s fast-fission technology. The pilot plant is slated for design completion in late 2026, with commissioning expected in 2028, establishing Oklo as a vertically integrated supplier of both power and isotopes.

Oklo’s project team is advancing licensing discussions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, having submitted a combined license application for the Aurora reactor design in mid-2025. Concurrently, the company is finalizing land acquisition documents and community agreements with the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative. With engineering, procurement and construction contracts in negotiation, Oklo aims to break ground on the Pike County site in 2027, aligning construction timelines to meet Meta’s electricity demand curve and DOE isotope production goals.
