What the evidence supports

That Oklo, the project's developer, published the quoted statement. It records "permission issued" for NRC approval of Oklo's Principal Design Criteria topical report for the Idaho Aurora powerhouse (a design-criteria report for future applications; not a permit or licence) 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.
