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 analysis of two 91Zr neutron transmission experiments performed some years ago at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Geel electron Linacs showed systematic discrepancy in the resonance neutron width estimation. The two sets of data are comprehensively reanalyzed by a shape least-squares method that builds up a single system of normal equations. An accurate resolution function description was obtained by Monte Carlo calculation of the moderation and detection contributions. The two experiments are found to be in complete agreement and a single set of resonance neutron widths is obtained.
