What happened
Oklo plans a medical radiopharmaceuticals plant within the LEAP District in Indiana. Democratic legislators challenged the Indiana Economic Development Corp. over whether the land purchase could open the door for a nuclear power generation site. While an IEDC official stated discussions with Oklo centered on radioisotopes, Oklo describes itself as an advanced nuclear technology company that builds fast fission power plants.
