Oklo, Centrus collaborate on HALEU deconversion-enrichment initiative
A newly announced potential joint venture between reactor and fuel-recycling developer Oklo and uranium enricher Centrus Energy could be coming to Ohio. The two companies have agreed to pursue discussions on jointly establishing deconversion services for high-assay low-enriched uranium and other fuel-cycle technologies at Centrus’s uranium enrichment plant in Piketon, Ohio, which is adjacent to Oklo's proposed 1.2-GW power campus. That campus, which has been targeted to be on line by 2030, will use Oklo’s Aurora Powerhouse microreactor to support data centers for Meta.
