Accelerating America’s Small Modular Reactor Moment
It’s no secret America’s energy demand is entering a new era. Growth in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, electrification and national security infrastructure is creating unprecedented demand for reliable, affordable and secure power. Nuclear energy – particularly small modular reactors (SMRs) – has been identified as a critical part of that solution.
However, deploying new nuclear capacity fast enough to meet demand will require more than innovative reactor designs. It will require experienced partners who understand licensing, environmental permitting, engineering, project delivery and long-term operations.
