Meta’s new nuclear deals with Oklo and TerraPower: The details
Tech giant Meta is making big bets on TerraPower and Oklo. With the former, the hyperscaler could support the deployment of up to eight new reactors. With the latter, it could be as many as sixteen.
For both start-ups, Meta hopes its demand bolsters supply chains, the workforce, and the nuclear industry generally. For itself, the company is aiming to secure more generation to cleanly power its AI ambitions.

Thermal-neutron doses can be simply and inexpensively measured over many orders of magnitude of integrated flux by a count of induced-fission-damage tracks in a solid with uranium impurities. Examples are given of the use of a single ordinary glass to measure neutron flux from 3 × 1014 to 4 × 1018nvt and of the use of glass to measure the spatial variation of neutron flux. Other materials, either glassy or crystalline, allow a wide range of fluxes to be measured.
