    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Expand Led by Oklo at 18.1 GW for Data Center Power Needs

    Question

    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Expand Led by Oklo at 18.1 GW for Data Center Power Needs

    Direct answer

    Power requirements from AI clusters are accelerating commercial agreements for advanced nuclear power. Oklo has accumulated an 18.1 GW pipeline, while NuScale holds 6 to 7 GW in customer commitments. Uranium producer Cameco is positioned to supply primary feedstock as data center developers pursue dedicated baseload nuclear power off-take agreements. — bullish pressure on CCJ.
