The U.S. Has Accumulated 100,000 Metric Tons of Used Nuclear Fuel. Oklo Sees It as a Massive Potential Energy Resource.
Oklo's advanced nuclear reactors could make use of America's massive stockpile of used nuclear fuel.
Overview
Over the last six decades, the United States has accumulated nearly 100,000 metric tons of used nuclear fuel. Despite generating about one-fifth of the nation's electricity from nuclear power, the U.S. never established a permanent geological repository for spent commercial nuclear fuel.
This spent fuel could get a second chance if Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) has its way. That's because Oklo's nuclear reactors are designed to efficiently utilize spent nuclear fuel, creating an opportunity to get more from existing nuclear waste.
