    "excerpt": "Nuclear waste could be turned into advanced reactor fuel with US firms' new deal.\n\nOklo is developing Pluto, a fast test reactor fueled by plutonium.\n\nAdvanced nuclear technology firm Oklo and TRISO nuclear fuel producer Standard Nuclear have finalized a memorandum of understanding to work together on fuel recycling, advanced manufacturing, and utilizing excess US plutonium.\n\nThis commercial agreement provides Oklo with its initial third-party buyer pathway for materials processed at its upcoming Tennessee facility. It follows an announcement by the US Department of Energy that selected both companies among five enterprises to enter advanced negotiations for the federal Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program.\n\nThe non-binding agreement outlines a framework for the companies to evaluate technical and commercial details. Under the material offtake portion of the agreement, Standard Nuclear will review specifications and delivery timelines for reprocessed uranium and uranium-transuranic streams.\n\nThese materials will originate from Oklo's planned recycling plant in Oak Ridge and will serve as raw inputs for Standard Nuclear's production of TRISO fuel, which is a specialized fuel type designed for high-temperature advanced reactors.\n\nSupply chain integration.\n\n\"The collaboration would focus on the supply of reprocessed uranium (RepU) and uranium-transuranic material (U/TRU) streams...",
