Oklo Inc. - Technology
Our fast reactor design benefits from robust inherent safety performance. The reactor is self-stabilizing, self-controlling, and cooled by natural forces. This means the plant is walk-away safe and the technology that enables this has been demonstrated at scale.

Meet Oklo, the Earth’s 2 billion-year-old natural nuclear reactor
One of the natural nuclear reactors is accessible through a tunnel from the main mine in Oklo, Gabon, a West African nation that borders the Atlantic Ocean. To understand how a nuclear reaction could occur spontaneously in layers of mineralized uranium and sandstone, let’s take a closer look at a nuclear reaction or the “fission process.”
