Meta’s new nuclear deals with Oklo and TerraPower: The details
Tech giant Meta is making big bets on TerraPower and Oklo. With the former, the hyperscaler could support the deployment of up to eight new reactors. With the latter, it could be as many as sixteen.
For both start-ups, Meta hopes its demand bolsters supply chains, the workforce, and the nuclear industry generally. For itself, the company is aiming to secure more generation to cleanly power its AI ambitions.

Knowledge transfer has traditionally been primarily viewed as a one-way process from the older generation to the younger generation, shaped by the valuable knowledge, wisdom and skills of the former. However, the concept of reverse knowledge transfer (where the two roles are reversed) has become increasingly important in today’s fast-evolving world – it is essential for keeping societies adaptive, workplaces innovative and individuals of all ages relevant and empowered. This session will interview a number of early and mid-career members of the Division. As well as seeking advice to their peers, modern insight will be sought (e.g. on technologies, trends or new ways of thinking) that can help to drive improvements in the nuclear criticality safety community, aided through this intergenerational collaboration. Questions will be solicited from the audience as part of the session.
