Oklo, an advanced nuclear technology company, has acquired ARMEC, a precision manufacturing and engineering firm based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Orrick represents Oklo.
Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, affordable energy at global scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical isotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert used nuclear fuel into clean energy. Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories.
ARMEC is a precision manufacturing and mechanical engineering company specializing in high-precision machining and prototyping for the nuclear industry.
The acquisition expands Oklo’s in-house capabilities for its advanced reactor and fuel-manufacturing programs, supports faster design-to-manufacturing feedback, and provides additional control over key elements of Oklo’s deployment timeline.
Orrick’s David Schwartz led the team which includes Jamie Kamen Baroff, Kyle Zhu, Dean Corrado and Ledah Geller, with invaluable support from Eric Wall, Juliano Banuelos, Taylor Ball, David Sharrow, Esteban De La Torre, Harry Clark, Jonathan Ayre, Bart Kempf, Matthew Coleman, Shannon Yavorsky, Carly Owens, Anna Suh and Graeme MacDiarmid.
