NRC approves Oklo's principal design criteria report for Aurora powerhouse

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved Oklo's Principal Design Criteria topical report for the Aurora powerhouse. Oklo says the review took less than half the traditional timeline, and the approved report can now be referenced in future licence applications, so that material does not need a fresh review. It is a licensing step, not a construction or licence approval for a specific plant.
