What remains unresolved
- Base path
- Operational AI efficiencies lower engineering overhead while broader NRC licensing timelines proceed on schedule.
- Adverse path
- Regulatory bodies maintain standard review latency, limiting the near-term commercial benefit of internal software acceleration.
- Supportive path
- Accelerated regulatory milestones advance commercial SMR deployments and utility-scale off-take agreements.
