Oklo, NVIDIA and the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have entered into agreement on Thursday to explore artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled research and nuclear research and development at LANL.
According to Oklo’s press release, the collaboration will use Oklo’s sodium fast-reactor design, NVIDIA AI infrastructure and LANL’s technical expertise in materials science and nuclear fuels in an effort to support critical infrastructure development and expedite nuclear power commercialization.
“This agreement brings together reactor deployment, high-performance compute, and world-class fuel and materials science expertise” Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte said. “We believe this will advance our plutonium-bearing fuel work on Oklo’s Pluto reactor, which was selected under DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program, and help bring resilient power in support of the Genesis Mission.”
NuScale Power will hold its first quarter earnings call on May 7 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Corvallis, Ore.-based small modular reactor developer, which is the first reactor company to receive a design certification from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, will report its results for the quarter that ended March 31.
The company saw an increase in its revenue in the first quarter of 2025, earning $13.4 million, which is up from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. However, NuScale’s most recent quarter, the fourth quarter of 2025, saw a slight dip in revenue.
The University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources has published a set of community information guides this week for local communities about nuclear energy in Wyoming.
The publications in the series of informational guides includes getting to know about nuclear waste and waste management in Wyoming and another about some of the frequent questions asked about the establishment of the nuclear industry in the state.
The guides were created as a response to a county commissioner’s request for public material related to nuclear facilities and spent fuel, according to the school’s Tuesday press release. Scarlett Forrest, an assistant research scientist in the university’s School of Energy Resources’ jurisprudence of underground law and energy research group, led the writing effort of the guides.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Oklo made several personnel changes in key management positions and to its board of directors last week.
Oklo appointed four new directors on April 14. The board members are David Christian, David Park, Derek Kan and Mark Peters. The appointments were made effective April 10, according to Oklo’s press release. In a corresponding move, the company moved Michael Thompson from its board to serve as its lead independent director.
Additionally, the company announced plans to transition Pat Schwieger, the current chief technology officer, to a technical adviser role in the coming weeks. Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte said Schweiger’s change comes as part of Oklo’s efforts “to update its management structure to reflect its focus on building business units tackling powerhouse deployment, fuel fabrication, fuel recycling, and radioisotope production.”
