Oklo contracts Centrus for fuel
Oklo and Centrus Energy signed multi-year contracts for HALEU fuel supply, securing power for up to five Aurora reactors. Deliveries begin in 2029, with prepayments from Oklo and Meta. Centrus will expand enrichment capacity, backed by $5.4bn in contracts. Oklo plans to sell power via PPAs, starting with Meta's data centers.
