    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Build Out Led by Oklo 18.1 GW and NuScale 7 GW

    Question

    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Build Out Led by Oklo 18.1 GW and NuScale 7 GW

    Direct answer

    Power generation constraints for artificial intelligence facilities have driven small modular reactor developers to build significant commercial pipelines. Oklo reports an 18.1 GW backlog composed largely of nonbinding arrangements, while NuScale maintains a 6 to 7 GW customer commitment. Upstream nuclear suppliers reflect the shifting duration of commercial deployments. Cameco shares have retraced from $134 to $85 per share as markets price in multi-year engineering and regulatory lead times for next-generation nuclear capacity.
