Project Prometheus represents a strategic pivot to solve the AI data center power crunch using next-generation nuclear technology. By committing $60 million and selecting specific partners, the administration is effectively 'picking winners' in the SMR (Small Modular Reactor) space. The exclusion of NuScale, previously a leader in the sector, suggests a shift in technical or political preference that could re-order the nuclear energy landscape.
