Extended read
NuScale Power, once the poster child for the nuclear renaissance, has seen its valuation collapse as the regulatory landscape levels out. While the company was the first to receive certain NRC certifications, competitors are catching up faster than expected. The narrative of nuclear-powered AI data centers remains compelling, but NuScale's inability to convert interest into binding, multi-billion dollar contracts has led to a massive de-risking by investors. The stock is now a high-beta play on the actual commencement of SMR construction.
