Oklo与Centrus签多年期HALEU供应协议:可供最多5座Aurora电站多年使用、2029年起交付,11月12日宣布

先进核技术公司Oklo于2026年11月12日经BusinessWire宣布,已与铀浓缩与核燃料服务商Centrus Energy签下多份多年期的确定性合同,采购高丰度低浓铀,即HALEU。Oklo将为未来的HALEU交付作预付款,以支持Centrus在美国新建铀浓缩产能。协议把两家公司2026年6月的意向书转为正式合同,所购燃料可供最多5座Aurora电站多年使用,交付定于2029年起从Centrus位于俄亥俄州派克县的美国离心机工厂发出。
这笔采购由Meta为未来Oklo电力生产所作的预付款支持,锁定的是Oklo规划中1.2吉瓦俄亥俄园区第一阶段的燃料。该园区规划建设多座Aurora电站。Oklo在爱达荷州的第一座Aurora电站使用的是从实验增殖反应堆二号回收燃料中分得的配额,本次协议则为俄亥俄园区第一阶段、后续Aurora部署以及Aurora-INL日后的换料备下燃料。
Centrus方面称,其离心机工艺近期已完成首台新离心机的制造并开始发运,公司已累计取得54亿美元的客户合同与承诺,向新产能采购低浓铀与高丰度低浓铀。Oklo联合创始人兼首席执行官Jacob DeWitte表示,锁定燃料是把电力业务扩展到第一座反应堆之外的关键。Centrus总裁兼首席执行官Amir Vexler表示,Oklo的预付款将帮助公司扩建其美国离心机技术与制造工艺。
两家公司称,这组协议把俄亥俄州的三条线连在一起,即Centrus在派克顿的浓缩扩建、Oklo规划的Aurora电站与Meta对该州运营所需新电力的承诺,公司预期项目在全面建成时可支持数以千计的直接与间接就业。
英文标题:Oklo and Centrus Sign Multi-Year HALEU Supply Agreements: Enough Fuel for Up to Five Aurora Powerhouses for Multiple Years, With Deliveries Beginning in 2029, Announced November 12
英文全文:
Oklo Inc., an advanced nuclear technology company, announced on November 12, 2026, in a BusinessWire release, that it has signed multiple definitive, multi-year contracts with Centrus Energy Corp., a uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel services provider, for high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU. Under the agreements, Oklo will make prepayments for future HALEU deliveries to support construction of new United States uranium enrichment capacity with Centrus. The agreements formalize the June 2026 letter of intent between the two companies and include enough HALEU to support up to five Aurora powerhouses for multiple years, with fuel deliveries from Centrus's American Centrifuge Plant in Pike County, Ohio, scheduled to begin in 2029.
The HALEU purchase is supported by Meta's prepayment for future Oklo power production and secures fuel for the first phase of Oklo's planned 1.2 gigawatt power campus in Ohio, which includes multiple Aurora powerhouses. Building on Oklo's allocation of recovered Experimental Breeder Reactor II fuel for its first Aurora powerhouse in Idaho, the Centrus agreements secure HALEU for the first phase of the Ohio campus, future Aurora deployments, and later refueling of the Aurora-INL.
Centrus said its centrifuge manufacturing process recently completed and began shipping its first new centrifuge as part of its domestic enrichment expansion, and that it has now secured 5.4 billion dollars in customer contracts and commitments to purchase low-enriched uranium and HALEU from the new capacity. Oklo chief executive and co-founder Jacob DeWitte said securing fuel is essential to scaling the company's power business beyond its first reactor in Idaho. Centrus president and chief executive Amir Vexler said Oklo's prepayments will help fund the buildout as Centrus scales its American Centrifuge technology and qualified manufacturing processes.
The companies said the agreements connect three Ohio-based efforts, namely Centrus's enrichment expansion in Piketon, Oklo's planned Aurora powerhouses, and Meta's commitment to bring new electricity and jobs in support of its Ohio operations, and that the effort is expected to support thousands of direct and indirect jobs at full buildout.
