Oklo signs MOU with Standard Nuclear to explore plutonium recycling
Oklo announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Standard Nuclear to explore commercial collaboration on nuclear fuel recycling and advanced fuel manufacturing. According to Oklo, the collaboration with TRISO fuel fabricator Standard Nuclear represents the company’s first third-party offtake pathway for recycled nuclear materials, including surplus U.S. plutonium.

Recently, analytical formulas have been derived for the Feynman- and Rossi-Alpha measurements in accelerator-driven systems. In such systems, due to the multiplicity of the sources, the Feynman- and Rossi-Alpha formulas contain additional terms as compared with the traditional cases. A numerical evaluation of these formulas for systems with such sources is given. An assessment of the contribution of the terms that are novel as compared to the traditional formula is made. These include the terms arising from the source multiplicity, and the prompt-delayed and delayed-delayed correlations. Further, the consequences of averaging the delayed-neutron families are analyzed. Finally, a comparison is made, assuming traditional core material and one possible type of future accelerator-driven system.
