The US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), on behalf of the US Air Force and Department of Defense (DOD), has issued a notice of intent to award (NOITA) a contract to US-based fission technology company Oklo to provide heat and electricity to the Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks in Alaska as part of the Air Force's micro-reactor pilot programme. This programme was initiated in response to the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorisation Act, which required DOD to identify potential military locations to site, construct, and operate a micro-reactor. The NOITA initiates the acquisition process to potentially award the contract to Oklo under a long-term power purchase agreement executed by the DLA.
