Well that is now a question I have to ask myself.
#Oklo found a county willing to gamble on an untested new design with its land, water table, agriculture and people: https://oklo.com/newsroom/news-details/2026/Oklos-Atomic-Alchemy-Announces-U-S--Department-of-Energy-Approval-for-Nuclear-Safety-Design-Agreement-of-its-Groves-Isotopes-Test-Reactor/default.aspx
I have serious doubts about the rigor and safety that is going into this. Especially as I can find almost no details about it. The regulators (NRC, DOE) seem to have been captured.

The facility is initially going to process nuclear materials for medical applications. However, this is just #Oklo dipping their toe in the pool (of molten sodium).
The goal for this site is a small-scale reactor for powering.. you guessed it, #AI data centres.
Powered by uranium waste, but #plutonium is also an option. It says so right in Oklo's SEC 10-K filing: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1849056/000162828026018698/oklo-20251231.htm (page 14)

I don't know anything about little nuclear reactors. They might be fine... #Austin has a small one in a research lab.
There is something uncomfortable about this #Groves #Lockhart #Texas site though. The way it's being fast-tracked. The greedy speculation on Oklo's stock online. The association with #Altman. The untested design, that was rejected by the NRC in 2022.
There's a story untold here, that I'll be digging in to.
I don't think anyone else is going to tell it.

@cmars allow me to recommend Radiacode products if you are looking for consumer-accessible radiation detection devices https://www.radiacode.com/
if everything is copacetic, you don’t need one. but if things are not copacetic in a nuclear way, such things are the only way to tell

@Athena Thanks so much for the recommendation, #radiacode looks awesome! A 103 is on the way, least I can do is take a baseline.
