12-Month Price Target: under the Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program, alongside four other advanced

$110.00 nuclear companies. The program aims to convert designated surplus plutonium

into fuel for advanced reactors under stringent U.S. security and safeguards

requirements, with Oklo partnering with European AMR developer newcleo to

Analysts lead utilization efforts. Oklo’s partnership with newcleo, the European developer

Dan Ives of advanced nuclear reactors, would be leveraged with OKLO leading surplus
