Oklo and Centrus announced plans on March 9, 2026 to pursue a joint venture focused on deconversion services for high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) and related fuel-cycle technologies at Centrus' Piketon site in Pike County, Ohio — co-located with Centrus' existing enrichment operations and adjacent to Oklo's planned 1.2 GW power campus. After uranium is enriched it must be converted to a different chemical form (uranium oxide or uranium metal) before fabrication into fuel. The joint venture aims to create an integrated, efficient coupling of uranium enrichment and deconversion to improve efficiency and costs through co-location and expand domestic advanced nuclear fuel capacity.
