This design is based on data from the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) and draws on research from the Integral Fast Reactor project. Oklo's reactors are designed to be small and modular ...
The DOE’s National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) has since 2021 set out to refurbish EBR II (which operated from 1964 – 1994) as a new test bed for higher thermal power reactor projects.
Oklo's SMR design is based on the EBR-II reactor, which was operational until 1994 and is the only technology other than light-water reactors to have previously received NRC approval. The company ...
