Supply chain contract signed for Aurora
Oklo, the California-based developer of the Aurora Powerhouse sodium-cooled fast-neutron reactor, has signed a contract with Siemens Energy that is meant to de-risk supply chain and production timeline challenges for Oklo. Under the terms, Siemens will design and deliver the power conversion system for the Powerhouse, which is to be deployed at Idaho National Laboratory.

The 241Pu total cross-section measurement of Kolar and Carraro and the neutron fission cross-section measurements of Blons et al. and Weston and Todd were analyzed with the R-matrix resonance analysis program SAMMY, which uses Bayes’ equation to extract resonance parameters from the experimental data. A set of Reich-Moore-type resonance parameters that describes the cross sections up to 100 eV was obtained. It is shown that existing data are not adequate for a precise evaluation of the resonance cross sections, and the need for additional work is discussed.
