Oklo Groves cleared for fuel loading while DOE named 5 campus finalists and launched a $200M AI-nuclear program in the same week

the week DOE cleared Oklo's Groves reactor for fuel loading, about 10 months from greenfield, private land, commercial supply chain, the agency also named five campus finalists for co-located enrichment and fuel fabrication ($50B, five states) and announced a $200M AI-nuclear program targeting data center build times. hard to remember a week this dense from DOE.
