LCG, November 19, 2025--Oklo Inc. and Siemens Energy announced today that the parties have signed a binding contract for the design and delivery of the power conversion system for Oklo’s Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR). The agreement authorizes Siemens Energy to begin engineering and design work to expedite procurement of long-lead components and to initiate the manufacturing process for the power conversion system. Oklo’s expertise in advanced fission technology will be combined with Siemens Energy’s extensive industry experience with steam turbine and generator systems, with the ultimate goal of generating carbon-free, reliable electricity.

LCG, November 19, 2025--NERC yesterday released its 2025–2026 Winter Reliability Assessment (WRA), which concludes "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions."

Davis-Besse Could Be Allowed to Operate Under Strict Conditions
LCG, Feb. 26, 2004--A company spokesman with FirstEnergy Corp. has said the company has agreed to a set of requirements issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that pertain to the restart of the Davis-Besse nuclear plant in Ohio, which has been offline since corrosion in the reactor vesel lid was discovered two years ago.Two of the main conditions are that FirstEnergy will conduct a full inspection of the newly installed lid after approximately a year of operation, and that it will have an externally produced evaluation done concerning the human component of safety practices at the plant.Although a formal order detailing the NRC requirements is still being developed, the agency told FirstEnergy that it would grant license approval, but that in order for it to do so, FirstEnergy would have to give up its right to dispute the conditions. The NRC's Region III office administrator, James Caldwell, stated in a letter to the chief operating officer of FirstEnergy's nuclear business unit, Lew Myers, that incidents relating to personnel, including at least one in December, make it imperative that if the agency is to issue approval the requirements will have to be followed. Caldwell has not explicitly stated that approval for renewed operations will be granted, based on a request by FirstEnergy submitted two weeks ago.
