US approves game-changing technology that turns used nuclear waste into fuel: ‘A critical step’

A nuclear power plant that has been decommissioned for 30 years will soon help power a new facility with recovered nuclear waste.

The Department of Energy approved Oklo’s conceptual safety design report (CSDR) for the Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility, as Interesting Engineering reported. It will use high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) from the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II and be located at the Idaho National Laboratory.
