Sam Altman -backed nuclear company Oklo is 'push towards its target of building its first small modular reactor by 2027 at the Idaho National Laboratory,' according to a new report from Reuters.

In May, Oklo partnered with Atomic Alchemy to produce medical isotopes from its recycling process for cancer treatment and diagnostic imaging. It also signed an LOI with Wyoming Hyperscale for a 20-year PPA to supply 100 MW to its data center campus. In April, Oklo signed an LOI for a 20-year PPA with Diamondback Energy to power its shale-oil operations in the Permian Basin.
