| Question | What the evidence establishes |
|---|---|
| What was reported? | Reported factNuScale Power is progressing toward an agreement with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and ENTRA1 Energy to develop up to 6 gigawatts of small modular reactor (SMR) capacity. |
| What else was confirmed? | Reported factThe framework remains non-binding without an executed power purchase agreement. |
| Does the valuation support acting? | UnknownNo stored valuation assumptions for SMR yet — this is the next research task. |
