The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The Aurora Powerhouse is Oklo's small modular reactor design, a sodium-cooled fast reactor using metal fuel and passive, natural-convection heat removal instead of the pressurized water and active safety systems of a conventional light-water reactor. It is built with a compact, factory-buildable architecture intended to serve as dedicated baseload power for an industrial or data-center customer sited nearby.
