Latest SMR news & analysis

NuScale's Potential TVA Deal Could Be 6 to 8 Gigawatts. Here's Why the CEO Calls It the Largest Nuclear Build-Out in U.S. History.

The Motley Fool · 17 Aug 2026positive

NuScale Power may be involved in a potential Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) project that could total 6 to 8 gigawatts. The company's CEO described the possible deal as the largest nuclear build-out in U.S. history, and it could significantly affect NuScale's commercial outlook.

Why it matters — A TVA deal of this scale would represent a historically significant commercial opportunity for NuScale and could mark a major expansion of small modular reactor deployment in the U.S.

$10,000 in NuScale at Its 52-Week High Is Worth About $1,650 Today

The Motley Fool · 16 Aug 2026negative

NuScale Power's stock has fallen sharply from its 52-week high of $57.42 (reached last October) to near $9.50. The company's second-quarter revenue was $75,000, a significant decline from $8.1 million in the same period a year earlier.

Why it matters — The steep decline in NuScale's share price and its dramatically reduced quarterly revenue highlight the financial pressure facing this small modular reactor developer.

The Last U.S. Nuclear Boom Applied to Build 26 Reactors and Finished 2. NuScale Carries a $4 Billion Market Value on $10.7 Million of Sales.

The Motley Fool · 14 Aug 2026negative

The article notes that utilities filed applications for 26 new U.S. reactors during the last nuclear expansion, but only Vogtle Units 3 and 4 were completed, with costs more than doubling from an initial $14 billion estimate to over $30 billion and service delayed by about seven years. It also points out that NuScale carries a roughly $4 billion market value against $10.7 million in sales.

Why it matters — An SMR watcher would care because the historical track record of cost overruns and long delays in large reactor projects underscores the obstacles that small modular reactors like NuScale's aim to overcome versus the legacy project failures.

NuScale Could Become the Standard Platform for Nuclear Energy

The Motley Fool · 13 Aug 2026positive

The Motley Fool article discusses NuScale's potential to become a foundational company in the next nuclear era, citing its advantage as a practical reactor built on proven technology, conventional fuel, and repeatable manufacturing rather than an exotic breakthrough.

Why it matters — A SMR watcher would care because the piece highlights NuScale's positioning as a potentially standard industry platform based on proven, scalable reactor design and manufacturing.

Can NuScale's Commercial Potential Justify Its Valuation?

Zacks Investment Research · 12 Aug 2026neutral

Zacks Investment Research examines whether NuScale Power's commercial potential justifies its valuation, noting that its regulatory head start and $1.9B liquidity support commercialization while its rich valuation raises the stakes for contract conversion.

Why it matters — SMR watchers would care because the piece highlights both NuScale's commercialization advantages and the risks tied to its valuation and contract conversion.
