Oklo announced last week that it hopes to expand development and global deployment of its advanced nuclear technology through a new partnership with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
The memorandum of understanding includes plans for the companies to advance standard design development and global deployment of Oklo’s planned Aurora Powerhouse, a microreactor that would generate 15 MW and be scalable to 50 MWe. Oklo said each unit can operate for 10 years or longer before refueling.
Oklo and KHNP plan to cooperate on early-stage project development, including manufacturability assessments and planning of major equipment, supply chain development for balance-of-plant systems, and constructability assessments and planning.

Nickel-doped F82H alloys have been fabricated to simulate He production due to fusion neutrons in fission reactor irradiation. 1.2Ni and 1.4Ni alloys were tempered at 750°C without re-austenitisation. Expected He production in 1.4% Ni alloy irradiated in HFIR target position is about 400 appm at 40 dpa. Results of tensile and Charpy impact tests of these alloys show that their mechanical properties are similar to those of original F82H, although 0.2% proof stresses of Ni-doped alloys were 50 Mpa smaller than that of F82H. Small amount of two isotope tailored alloys including 1.4wt% Ni are also prepared using 58Ni and 60Ni. Chemical analyses and Charpy impact tests of the mock-up heat suggest that the fabrication of these small heats was successful.
