NuScale Power ($SMR) Demonstrates Emission Reducing Capabilities of Small Modular Reactors

Small nuclear reactor design to be approved

U.S. Approves First Small Modular Nuclear Reactor, Beginning New Era for Atomic Energy

Small modular reactors were sold as nuclear energy’s game-changer – smaller, faster, cheaper. But NuScale’s Carbon Free Power Project in Idaho tells a brutal different story. America’s most advanced SMR was just cancelled after costs nearly doubled from $3.5 billion to over $9 billion. Here’s what went wrong with the SMR hype. • Most advanced U.S. SMR project cancelled after massive cost explosion • From $3.5B to $9B – how SMRs became MORE expensive than traditional nuclear plants • Why “smaller
