SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    On March 11, 2020, Oklo filed with the NRC pursuant to Section 103 
of the Atomic Energy Act and part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for 
Nuclear Power Plants,'' an application for a combined license for one 
micro-reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory located in Idaho. The 
reactor is to be identified as the Aurora.
    A notice of receipt and availability of this application was 
previously published in the Federal Register on April 3, 2020 (85 FR 
19032).
    The NRC staff has determined that Oklo has submitted information in 
accordance with 10 CFR part 2, ``Agency Rules of Practice and 
Procedure,'' and 10 CFR part 52 that is acceptable for docketing. The 
Docket Number established for this application is 52-049.
    The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the 
application. Docketing of the application does not preclude the NRC 
from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review 
proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny 
the application. The Commission will conduct a hearing in accordance 
with subpart L, ``Informal Hearing Procedures for NRC Adjudications,'' 
of 10 CFR part 2 and will receive a report on the COL application from 
the Advisory Committee on Reactors Safeguards in accordance with 10 CFR 
52.87, ``Referral to the Advisory Committee on Reactors Safeguards 
(ACRS).'' If the Commission finds that the COL application meets the 
applicable standards of the Atomic Energy Act and the Commission's 
regulations, and that required notifications to other agencies and 
bodies have been made, the Commission will issue a COL, in the form and 
containing conditions and limitations that the Commission finds 
appropriate and necessary.
    Finally, the Commission will announce in a future Federal Register 
notice of hearing and opportunity to petition for leave to intervene as 
required by 10 CFR 52.85.

    Dated: June 10, 2020.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
