What OKLO does

Pre-revenue developer of small nuclear microreactors ('Aurora') aimed at powering data centers and remote sites.

Plans to own and operate its reactors and sell electricity under long-term contracts instead of selling the reactors, so it would be paid per unit of power once running. It went public through a 2024 merger with a blank-cheque company that Sam Altman had backed.

Products and services

  • Aurora powerhouse microreactors
  • Fuel recycling technology

Customers

  • data center / AI compute operators (planned)
  • US government / defense sites (planned)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Nuclear power
  • Advanced/small modular reactors
  • Liquid-metal fast reactor design & fuel…

What could go right

  • AI/data-center demand for firm, carbon-free power
  • Government support for advanced nuclear

What could go wrong

  • No commercial revenue yet
  • Nuclear regulatory/licensing delays

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, regulatory licence, first-mover). Nuclear regulatory approval is a high barrier to entry, but Oklo has yet to commercially operate a reactor.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
