    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Diverge as Oklo Logs 18.1 GW in Nonbinding Pipeline

    Question

    Small Modular Reactor Backlogs Diverge as Oklo Logs 18.1 GW in Nonbinding Pipeline

    Direct answer

    Power generation constraints for hyperscale AI campuses have pushed nuclear technology developers into focus. Developers are competing on order book scale to secure long-lead component supply and utility interconnection priority. Oklo leads gross pipeline volume at 18.1 GW, though the majority of these arrangements remain nonbinding. In contrast, NuScale's 6 to 7 GW backlog features narrower customer diversification, creating distinct execution risk profiles across the SMR sector.
