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.
