$OKLO has announced a collaboration with Nvidia ($NVDA) and Los Alamos National Laboratory to enhance nuclear infrastructure and artificial intelligence-enabled research, particularly in nuclear fuel research and development. This partnership focuses on integrating advanced nuclear power technologies with AI, digital twins, and modeling to streamline the development of critical infrastructure and promote the use of nuclear energy. Key areas of research include developing AI models for validating plutonium-bearing fuels and exploring the materials science needed for their production, alongside studies aimed at improving power generation and grid reliability for nuclear-powered AI factories at Los Alamos.

OKLO: Oklo is an advanced nuclear technology company that develops fast fission small modular reactors and commercializes nuclear fuel recycling to deliver clean energy through an owner-operator model, selling power via long-term contracts. It targets applications like powering AI data centers with its Aurora powerhouses. In this agreement, Oklo collaborates with Nvidia and Los Alamos National Laboratory to advance AI-enabled research on plutonium-bearing fuels and nuclear infrastructure for AI factories.
Nvidia: Nvidia is a leader in accelerated computing and AI infrastructure, providing GPUs and software for high-performance modeling, simulation, and AI applications across industries. It has deepened involvement in nuclear energy through partnerships leveraging AI for R&D. Nvidia contributes advanced compute and AI models to this collaboration for physics-based simulations, fuel validation, and grid studies supporting nuclear-powered AI factories.
Los Alamos National Laboratory: Los Alamos National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy facility specializing in nuclear science, materials research, plutonium infrastructure, and high-performance computing for national security and energy projects. It executes capital projects for plutonium production and advanced R&D. LANL provides world-class expertise in fuel validation and materials science to this partnership, accelerating nuclear power deployment for critical infrastructure like AI factories.
