OKLO• Groves isotope test reactor reaches first criticality
- Oklo’s Groves Isotope Test Reactor achieved first criticality at low power less than a year after groundbreaking.
- Built on private land from a greenfield site under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program, marking the first such project to reach criticality.
- The milestone sets an operational base for future commercial isotope production, supporting the company’s domestic isotope supply strategy.
- The project is positioned as evidence that U.S. nuclear deployment timelines can shift from years to months under an integrated authorization process.
