Advanced nuclear technology company Oklo and nuclear fuel supplier Centrus Energy will study the formation of a joint venture focused on deconversion services for high-assay low enriched uranium (Haleu) and bolstering the US nuclear fuel supply chain.

Oklo said that activities under the joint venture are proposed for Centrus’ Piketon site in southern Ohio, which would be next to its planned site for a 1.2 GW power campus.
