LCG, June 19, 2026--Oklo Inc. and Centrus Energy Corp. announced yesterday a Letter of Intent under which Centrus agrees to supply enough domestic high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to power up to five of Oklo's Aurora nuclear powerhouses for multiple years, with deliveries to Oklo scheduled to begin in 2029. Centrus will supply HALEU from its American Centrifuge Plant in Pike County, Ohio to support Oklo’s planned 1.2 GW power campus in the region

New Power Plan for Ontario Relies on Nuclear and Phases Out Coal
LCG, August 30, 2007--The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) yesterday filed its proposed electricity plan with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), the energy regulator for the Province of Ontario. Key elements of the plan include: conservation, new renewable generation, natural gas distributed generation, nuclear generation and grid improvements to transmit electricity to the market. Existing coal-fired generation would be phased out by the end of 2014.
The estimated capital cost of the Integrated Power System Plan (IPSP) is C$60 (2007 dollars), with a cost breakdown as follows: conservation, C$10.2; renewables, C$15.4; nuclear, C$26.5; natural gas, C$3.6; and transmission, C$4.0. Approximately three quarters of the transmission cost is associated with renewable resource development.
The proposed plan would roughly double the amount of renewable energy on the grid by 2025. Of perhaps greater interest is the proposal to develop nuclear power to support the growing baseload requirement. OPA plans to add approximately 10,250 MW of nuclear resources, in part through refurbishing existing reactors. Refurbishment could shorten schedules, reduce costs, and better utilize existing infrastructure.
A significant portion of the new supply resources are planned to enable the retirement of over 6,400 MW of coal-fired, generating facilities. The retirements are driven by government commitments to reduce emissions, including greenhouse gases. The environmental benefits estimated by OPA include: sulfur dioxide emissions would decrease by 95 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions would decline by over 50 percent, mercury emissions would be eliminated, and carbon dioxide emissions would decline by over 60 percent.
