Why Oklo Stock Popped on Thursday
Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) stock jumped 4% through 1:20 p.m. ET Thursday after the small nuclear reactor-builder announced it has completed its Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) "pre-application readiness assessment" for the first part of a combined license application (COLA) to build its "Aurora powerhouse" at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

Translated into English, this means Oklo is one step closer to building a small modular reactor at INL. More precisely, it's one step closer to being able to apply for permission to build said reactor. (Whether NRC deems the application worthy of approval remains to be seen.)
