Overview
- Oklo and Idaho National Laboratory launched a Strategic Partnership Project to integrate the Prometheus AI platform into advanced reactor and fuel‑system design for the Pluto fast reactor.
- Run under the National Nuclear Security Administration’s partnership framework, the agreement gives Oklo access to INL’s nuclear experts, data, and specialized facilities.
- The project will deploy AI agents that run multiphysics simulations, track design pipelines, process results, and draft compliant technical documents for Pluto.
- Oklo and INL say a human will stay in the loop to review outputs and make final calls, with added guidance for model setup plus benchmarking and validation to check accuracy.
- The work ties into DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program and the Genesis Mission on AI‑accelerated science, building on Oklo’s prior DOE site‑use permit, INL fuel awards, and its custom NRC license application, with the company pitching future power for energy‑hungry data centers.
