Presenter listed multiple reactor developers preparing to test at INL and singled out Oklo's Aurora project: "Oklo's Aurora INL project is a 75 megawatt electric reactor that will use fuel recycled from experimental breeder 2 fuel and is scheduled to begin operation in 2028."
Speakers emphasized that each company's design and fuel approach differs — TrISO fuel, liquid‑metal cooling, molten salt — and that INL's facilities can irradiate fuels, perform PIE, and generate data to support confidence in specific fuel forms and reactor concepts.
