History

Historical Context

The Shippingport Atomic Power Station, which began operation in 1954, was the first commercial nuclear power plant in the U.S., marking a pivotal shift in energy production. The Atomic Energy Commission's promotion of nuclear energy has led to it supplying about 20% of the nation's electricity today. Oklo's partnership with Vertiv aims to enhance energy efficiency in data centers, addressing the increasing demands of AI and computing.
