Fluor signs on to X-energy's four-unit SMR project at Dow's Seadrift, Texas site as US SMR activity accelerates.

DOE awards $8.8M to Framatome's Richland fuel plant, part of a $94M federal push to expand US nuclear fuel capacity.

DOE selects Oklo for surplus plutonium talks, opening a new fuel pathway for advanced small modular reactors.

FERC waiver lets Constellation transfer 760 MW of grid rights, keeping the 2027 Three Mile Island restart on track.

Georgia Power's 2026 SEC filings show $4.6 billion in federal credit facilities secured by Vogtle Units 3 and 4.

Meta partners with Oklo to build a 1.2 GW small modular reactor campus in Ohio using 16 Aurora Powerhouse reactors to po

NRC granted TerraPower a construction permit in March 2026 for a Natrium sodium-cooled reactor in Wyoming, the first new

DOE selected TVA and Holtec for 400 million dollars each to deploy advanced light-water SMRs in the US.

Nuclear power poised for a Florida comeback as AI data center demand strains the Southeast grid. NRC approves first-ever

At SMU Energy Outlook 2026, Vistra CEO Jim Burke and investor Ray Rothrock projected modest near-term nuclear growth despite a 400-gigawatt federal goal for 2050.

Energy demand from AI-driven data centers is growing faster than the grid can expand. EPRI projects AI power demand could reach 50 gigawatts by 2030, larger than Pennsylvania's entire grid.

A running tally by energy analyst Robert Bryce shows 735 wind and solar rejections across the United States since 2015, with 2024 producing the highest annual total yet recorded.

The EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2026 projects U.S. nuclear capacity holding near 99 gigawatts through mid-century, with advanced reactor deployment as the key variable.

The United States operates the world's largest nuclear fleet: 96 commercial reactors at 57 plants across 28 states with a combined capacity of 98,441 megawatts, per the EIA.

Plant Vogtle's Units 3 and 4 cost $35 billion and pushed Georgia residential rates up more than 20 percent. Two years in, the project is reshaping how states evaluate nuclear power.

The NRC approved construction of TerraPower's 345-MW sodium-cooled Natrium reactor in Kemmerer, Wyoming -- the first commercial advanced reactor permit in more than four decades.
