Elementl plans Ohio nuclear plant; Oklo, Centrus sign Ohio-centered LOI
Nuclear project developer Elementl Power announced June 18 its plans to build a nuclear power plant in southeast Ohio with a planned capacity of up to 1.5 GW.
Elementl already has a reactor design in mind, having reached an early works agreement with GE Vernova Hitachi to deploy the company's BWRX-300 small modular reactors. According to Elementl, construction on the first unit could begin in 2030—subject to a final investment decision and regulatory approvals—with an anticipated completion date of 2034.

Session Chair:
Jeremy Hampshire (Chair/Moderator)
The nuclear community must remember the lessons from past reactor experiments to ensure the success of the next generation. Previous designs, such as EBR-I, EBR-II, BORAX, SL-1, Peach Bottom - Unit 1, and Fort Saint Vrain Nuclear Power Plant, inform the development of future reactors. Discoveries from these experiments are indirectly incorporated into current training programs, but their origins should be discussed to make them relevant. This session will review the significance of these reactors, lessons learned, and how results can be used for future deployments.
