Evidence detail

Permission issued

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

One permission is not every permission the project needs.

“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.”

What this does and does not establish

An exact passage match shows the source says this. It does not prove the underlying claim is true.
