Oklo and Centrus Sign Multi-Year HALEU Supply Agreements: Enough Fuel for Up to Five Aurora Powerhouses for Multiple Years, With Deliveries Beginning in 2029, Announced November 12
Oklo Inc., an advanced nuclear technology company, announced on November 12, 2026, in a BusinessWire release, that it has signed multiple definitive, multi-year contracts with Centrus Energy Corp., a uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel services provider, for high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU. Under the agreements, Oklo will make prepayments for future HALEU deliveries to support construction of new United States uranium enrichment capacity with Centrus. The agreements formalize the June 2026 letter of intent between the two companies and include enough HALEU to support up to five Aurora powerhouses for multiple years, with fuel deliveries from Centrus's American Centrifuge Plant in Pike County, Ohio, scheduled to begin in 2029.
The HALEU purchase is supported by Meta's prepayment for future Oklo power production and secures fuel for the first phase of Oklo's planned 1.2 gigawatt power campus in Ohio, which includes multiple Aurora powerhouses. Building on Oklo's allocation of recovered Experimental Breeder Reactor II fuel for its first Aurora powerhouse in Idaho, the Centrus agreements secure HALEU for the first phase of the Ohio campus, future Aurora deployments, and later refueling of the Aurora-INL.
Centrus said its centrifuge manufacturing process recently completed and began shipping its first new centrifuge as part of its domestic enrichment expansion, and that it has now secured 5.4 billion dollars in customer contracts and commitments to purchase low-enriched uranium and HALEU from the new capacity. Oklo chief executive and co-founder Jacob DeWitte said securing fuel is essential to scaling the company's power business beyond its first reactor in Idaho. Centrus president and chief executive Amir Vexler said Oklo's prepayments will help fund the buildout as Centrus scales its American Centrifuge technology and qualified manufacturing processes.
The companies said the agreements connect three Ohio-based efforts, namely Centrus's enrichment expansion in Piketon, Oklo's planned Aurora powerhouses, and Meta's commitment to bring new electricity and jobs in support of its Ohio operations, and that the effort is expected to support thousands of direct and indirect jobs at full buildout.
