The future of nuclear power is likely to be defined by so-called small modular reactors.

Small modular reactors are easy to build and cost-effective to manage.

They can be put into action much close to where the electricity they generate is used, rather than delivering their electricity through the power grid.

Data centers' power consumption will grow 160% between now and 2030 .

NuScale is still working on nearly a dozen other small modular reactor projects.

There's risk here, to be sure, although nuclear power itself is well-proven, small modular reactors aren't.

Even if the new model is approved, that approval won't come through until mid-2025 , clouding the bullish argument.
