Oklo advances Groves 2 Forge isotope production facility in DOE Nuclear Energy Launch Pad program

Oklo will advance the Groves 2 Forge isotope production facility under the DOE’s NRIC Nuclear Energy Launch Pad initiative. Project targets integrated reactor irradiation with hot-cell processing to produce, process, and purify lutetium-177 therapeutic isotopes. DOE selected 12 developers across 13 projects for the Launch Pad program, which aims to streamline domestic reactor development. Oklo plans to use Groves 2 Forge operating experience to support a move to commercial-scale isotope production under appropriate licenses. Effort aims to expand U.S. isotope supply capacity, addressing reliance on aging or foreign sources for critical isotopes.
