ARPA-E selects Oklo for fuel-award talks, not a grant

On Oct. 29, 2026 ARPA-E said it selected eight HORNIG projects for award negotiations, up to a combined $50 million, and that selection is not a commitment to fund them. Oklo's FORGE project is listed as Selected at $6,842,989 to develop transuranic-bearing U-TRU-Zr metallic fuel for sodium-cooled reactors. DOE can cancel the talks. Oklo's newsroom was not rechecked after Oct. 16.
