Oklo continues plutonium fuel development with LANL and Nvidia partnership
Oklo announced a new partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory and Nvidia to perform AI-enabled research on nuclear infrastructure and fuel.
The partnership is focused on exploring plutonium-bearing fuels, including the development of science-based AI models to support fuel validation and materials science and fabrication research and development. The team will also be exploring the development of nuclear-powered AI computing centers at LANL.

A summary is presented of the available physical property data on 94 molten fluoride salt mixtures which have been evaluated for utilization as high temperature fluid fuels and reactor coolants. The specific physical properties which were either measured or calculated include density, heat capacity, heat of fusion, enthalpy, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. The experimental techniques and apparatus used in making the measurements are described, and the probable experimental errors are given. Some of the problems and potentialities of reactor systems using molten salt fuels and coolants are also briefly discussed.
