Oklo Inc. and its subsidiary, Atomic Alchemy Inc., announced on August 13, 2025, their selection for three U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) reactor pilot projects. These projects fall under the newly established Reactor Pilot Program, with Oklo selected for two and Atomic Alchemy for one.
The Reactor Pilot Program aims to demonstrate criticality in at least three test reactors by America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. This selection is expected to accelerate deployment timelines and provide valuable operational insights that can support long-term commercial licensing and readiness.
This program is part of a broader federal initiative to modernize and streamline nuclear licensing and demonstration, made possible through executive orders signed in May 2025. Oklo Co-founder and CEO Jacob DeWitte stated that this demonstrates the DOE's commitment to enabling American nuclear innovators to build more quickly and efficiently.
