Aurora-INL powerhouse: DOE site use permit at INL for the Aurora powerhouse (a site permit, not a construction or operating authorization) (permission issued)

What was reported

Aurora-INL will be the first of Oklo’s planned fast fission power plants and has been granted access to recovered fuel from the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) following a competitive DOE process launched in 2019, the same year Oklo received a site-use permit at INL for the Aurora powerhouse.Regulator, government, developer and customer statements named in the Project Ledger · Oklo statement · Jun 11, 2026 · Open the source ↗

What the evidence supports

That Oklo, the project's developer, published the quoted statement. It records "permission issued" for DOE site use permit at INL for the Aurora powerhouse (a site permit, not a construction or operating authorization) 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.
