US-based advanced nuclear power plant developer Oklo has announced sites for two commercial units in Southern Ohio.
Oklo said it has signed an agreement with the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative (SODI) to deploy Oklo power plants that will provide up to 30 MW of clean electric power and over 50 MW of clean heating, with opportunities to expand.
SODI is one of the leading partners in a project to evaluate the reuse of an existing nuclear facility undergoing decommissioning for siting and construction of an advanced reactor.
The project has been using the former US Department of Energy (DOE) Portsmouth gaseous diffusion plant in Piketon, Ohio, as a case study.
