Oklo Inc. issued a statement of support on May 28, 2025, in response to a series of executive orders released by the White House. These orders, signed by President Donald Trump on May 23, 2025, focus on accelerating the approval and adoption of advanced nuclear energy, reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and strengthening the domestic nuclear supply chain.
Oklo co-founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte joined President Trump at the White House for the announcement, emphasizing the clear alignment around the need to modernize how advanced nuclear power is licensed, fueled, and built to meet rising demand. The executive orders direct agencies like the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to operate more effectively as both customers and enablers of new energy technologies.
The orders also highlight the importance of utilizing existing domestic nuclear fuel feedstock to jump-start early projects. Oklo's fuel award for its first core load is sourced from used nuclear fuel material from the Experimental Breeder Reactor II program, aligning with the administration's focus on fuel security and resilience.
