Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Oklo's Groves Isotope Test Reactor has sustained a chain reaction. The reactor is a demonstration version of the technology Oklo plans to use for its new medical isotope business. The company also plans to expand into recycling nuclear waste, fabricating its own fuel, and producing medical isotopes. Oklo is preparing a site near the Idaho National Laboratory for its first small modular reactor but does not yet have permission to work on the reactor itself.
