What the evidence supports

That Oklo, the project's developer, published the quoted statement. It records "permission issued" for DOE Idaho Operations Office approval of the Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis under the Reactor Pilot Program (not authorization to operate) under permissions only.

What remains unknown

One permission is not every permission the project needs. Any permission beyond the action quoted. A construction authorisation is not an operating licence, and one authority's action is not another's.
