Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) is one of the top mid-cap stocks to own for decades, according to hedge funds. On July 1, Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) sentiments received a significant boost after the U.S. Department of Energy approved the Documented Safety ******* ysis for its Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Texas.

Approved under the DOE's Reactor Pilot Program, it marks an important milestone in the facility's final safety basis. It also comes on the heels of an earlier approval of the Preliminary Documented Safety ******* ysis. The two approvals pave the way for the Groves Isotope Test Reactor to move from the documentation phase and into the final pre-startup review.
Success in the startup review phase will pave the way for Oklo to receive and load nuclear fuel to conduct startup testing at the facility. The company is already targeting first criticality for Groves in July.
The Groves facility strengthens Oklo's isotope business, which seeks to enable a strong domestic supply chain for critical isotopes. It also positions the company to be a key supplier of isotopes for scientific research, ******* e exploration, and national security applications.
