"The license application for one of the first advanced nuclear reactor designs to undergo federal scrutiny suffered a setback today when regulators announced they were dismissing the proposal for lack of information.
Silicon Valley-based Oklo Inc. failed to provide enough information regarding potential accidents and classifications of safety systems and components in the design for its 1.5-megawatt advanced fission power system, known as Aurora, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.
Without the information, the commission could not make a judgment on the design’s merits. That prompted the agency to dismiss the application without prejudice, which enables Oklo to resubmit it in the future, the commission said."
