SAM ALTMAN-BACKED NUCLEAR STARTUP OKLO LANDS MASSIVE DATA CENTER POWER DEAL, WITH CAVEATS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Nuclear startup Oklo, backed by Sam Altman, has signed a non-binding deal with Switch to supply 12 gigawatts of electricity from small modular reactors by 2044. Oklo's challenge remains in obtaining NRC approval after a prior denial, with plans to resubmit in 2025. Competition from nuclear startups and cheaper renewable energy sources poses additional hurdles.
