The US nuclear renaissance in the late 2000s led to applications for 26 reactors, with only two completed (Vogtle Units 3 and 4), which came late and over budget. NuScale Power proposes small modular reactors factory-built for faster deployment, holding the only NRC design certification for SMRs, yet currently has minimal revenue and pending deals, relying on investor funding while the market awaits proven signed orders.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a rare opportunity as nuclear power reboots with factory-built modules replacing slow traditional builds. If you supply components or services to power plants, that market could open soon with new projects relying on NuScale's model.
