SK Innovation, TerraPower Accelerate SMR Commercialization

TerraPower received U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval to construct an advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor in Wyoming—the first new commercial reactor permit in a decade and first for a non-light-water design in 40 years. SK Innovation, a major shareholder, is positioning SMRs as a stable, low-carbon power source for AI data centres and semiconductor manufacturing across Asia. If you're building a data centre or AI cluster outside the grid, you've just inherited a new energy supplier. TerraPower's first reactor approval opens a path to deploy stable, 24-hour power at sites where renewables alone won't cover the load—and SK is now the bridge between that reactor and your Asian site.
