Austin, TX, August 21, 2024 --(PR.com)-- The Texas Nuclear Alliance (“TNA”) is proud to announce that Oklo Inc. (“Oklo”), a leading developer of small advanced fission powerhouses that produce clean, affordable, abundant, self-sustaining and scalable nuclear energy, has joined TNA as a Founding Member.
Reed Clay, President of the Texas Nuclear Alliance, emphasized the importance of this partnership: "Oklo is a world leader in developing advanced nuclear technologies that will transform the way clean, reliable, and affordable energy is delivered across the world. This is particularly true in Texas where, for example, the electrification of the Permian Basin is expected to require up to 17 gigawatts. Oklo’s leadership will be essential for TNA as we aim to propel the nuclear industry in Texas and position Texas as the leader in new nuclear.”
