- In June 2026, Oklo Inc. announced a memorandum of understanding with Standard Nuclear to explore commercial collaboration on nuclear fuel recycling, surplus plutonium utilization, and advanced fuel manufacturing, leveraging Oklo’s planned Oak Ridge recycling facility and both companies’ selection for advanced negotiations under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program.
- The agreement not only outlines Oklo’s first third-party offtake pathway for recycled nuclear materials but also links its recycling and plutonium-fueled reactor ambitions to potential TRISO fuel production and radioisotope supplies for space, defense, and healthcare applications, broadening the company’s long-term revenue and technology optionality.
- We’ll now examine how securing domestic HALEU supply through Centrus reshapes Oklo’s investment narrative around fuel risk, deployment timing, and earnings potential.

Oklo Investment Narrative Recap
To own Oklo, you need to believe that compact fast reactors, paired with in house fuel recycling, can become a viable power and isotope platform despite today’s losses and execution risk. The Standard Nuclear MOU deepens Oklo’s fuel recycling and surplus plutonium strategy, but it does not materially change the key near term catalyst, which remains regulatory progress and project execution at Aurora INL, nor the biggest current risk around timing, funding needs and commercialization.
The most relevant recent announcement alongside this MOU is Oklo’s letter of intent with Centrus to supply domestic HALEU beginning in 2029 for up to five Aurora powerhouses in Ohio. Together, the Centrus fuel pathway and the Standard Nuclear recycling offtake give more definition to Oklo’s fuel strategy, which sits at the core of its long term deployment plans and could influence how investors think about future project timing and earnings once assets enter service.
But against these positives, investors should still recognize the risk that complex fuel supply chains and new recycling facilities could...
Oklo's narrative projects $51.8 million in revenue and $7.5 million in earnings by 2029. This implies an earnings increase of about $84.1 million from -$76.6 million today.
Uncover how Oklo's forecasts yield a $112.13 fair value, a 107% upside to its current price.
Exploring Other Perspectives
Some of the highest analysts were already assuming Oklo might reach about US$115.7 million of revenue and US$16.8 million of earnings by 2029, which is a far more optimistic path than the consensus view. In light of the new Standard Nuclear agreement and evolving fuel plans, you may find that your own expectations on fuel risk and deployment timing end up closer to, or further from, that bullish scenario.
