Idaho National Lab sees renewed push to build new nuclear reactors
Oklo and other developers are working to revive a long-stagnant nuclear industry amid growing interest in atomic energy and increased attention to AI-driven innovation.
Renewed interest in nuclear power is taking shape at Idaho National Laboratory, where new reactor concepts are being pursued after a long period of stagnation, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The renewed effort is drawing companies including Oklo, along with other competitors, as they look to advance the next generation of reactor designs.
The Journal links the activity to a broader convergence of investor and industrial interest in atomic energy and AI-driven ambition around advanced technologies.
The push underscores how nuclear projects are once again becoming a focal point for firms seeking to position for future demand for cleaner, dispatchable power.
