As Aurora's design is tailored towards remote areas, Oklo imagines the reactor site serving as a community hub. Locations where winters can be long and bitter often impact the mental well being of residents. By adding this type of comfortable social venue, Oklo considers it to be another added benefit.

For those of us who were alive during the 80s and 90s, the thought of swimming in an indoor pool at your local nuclear power plant probably gives us mental images of Homer Simpson eating glowing green donuts. Oklo assures us that it is entirely safe. Not only will it be safe, but the microreactor will produce almost exactly zero greenhouse emissions, nor will it produce nuclear waste. By using recycled nuclear fuel, it actually lessens the amount of existing nuclear waste.
