The face of nuclear power is changing. And one of the สล็อตออนไลน์ companies working to redefine nuclear power is Oklo, a 22-person Silicon Valley startup that plans to build small nuclear reactors. which is powered by waste from conventional nuclear reactors. and set in a beautiful A-frame structure.

The microreactor is an exciting innovation that has completely changed the story of technology for nuclear power,” Alex Gilbert, nuclear energy ideas program manager for the Nuclear Innovation Alliance,

In the past, nuclear power producers aimed to compete with This means they save money by making them bigger. However, such strategies often result in construction projects mired in delays and exorbitant costs,

such as the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Georgia, where estimates for the project have jumped from roughly $14 billion. 27 billion dollars or more The microreactor promises to change this paradigm by approaching cost competitiveness through technological learning,Oklo is the brainchild of Jacob DeWitte and Caroline Cochran,

co-founders of the husband-and-wife team. They met when they taught assistants in 2009 for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's reactor technology course for utility administrators with nuclear power plants as part of the "Massachusetts Institute of Technology". their table
