NRC Approves Oklo's Principal Design Criteria Topical Report for Aurora Powerhouse

LCG, May 6, 2026--Oklo Inc. ("Oklo"), an advanced nuclear technology company, announced today that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved the Principal Design Criteria (PDC) topical report for the Aurora-INL (Idaho National Laboratory) nuclear small modular reactor (SMR), which is currently under construction in Idaho. The PDC topical report establishes a regulatory framework that defines the fundamental safety, reliability, and performance requirements to guide future reactor licensing and design activities, and the approved report should simplify future applications and reduce the need to re-review established material.

New Power Generation Record Set for ERCOT

LCG, October 19, 2011--The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) announced that the electricity generated by wind farms on the afternoon of October 7 set a record at 7,400 MW. With an installed wind generating capacity totaling approximately 9,400 MW, this represents nearly an 80 percent capacity factor for the wind farms in ERCOT. Coastal wind farms accounted for approximately 15 percent of the power generated.

On October 7, approximately 15 percent of the electricity demand of 48,733 MW was supplied by electricity generated by the wind projects in ERCOT.

Although electric transmission constraints and the economy have slowed wind project development, new wind projects continue to be constructed. ERCOT anticipates the installed wind power capacity to increase from 9,400 MW to 9,700 MW by year end. Furthermore, over 2,300 miles of high-voltage transmission system expansions are planned by the end of 2013 that could allow for an additional 18,500 MW of installed wind power.
