ARLINGTON, Va. — United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) President and CEO Todd Abrajano today congratulated Oklo on successfully achieving criticality at its Groves reactor, marking the fifth advanced reactor to reach criticality in the United States in recent months.
“USNIC congratulates Oklo and its entire team on successfully achieving criticality—an important milestone for the advancement of the U.S. nuclear industry,” Abrajano said. “President Trump has made the rapid expansion of America’s nuclear capacity a national priority, and achievements like this show that the industry is ready to deliver. Five reactors reaching criticality in recent months reflect the momentum building across the United States. This is exactly the kind of progress needed to strengthen American energy security and global competitiveness.”
