With electricity demand expected to surge by 26 GW by 2035, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has positioned itself at the forefront of U.S. small modular reactor (SMR) development, filing a permit application to build the country’s first commercial-scale SMR at its Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

A global dataset of 5,360 large infrastructure projects reveals that virtually no energy sector escapes budgetary slippage—but nuclear infrastructure stands out as the most financially volatile.

Canada has taken a critical step forward in its nuclear energy strategy with formal approval for the construction of the nation’s first small modular reactor (SMR), the BWRX-300. The project, located at Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) Darlington site,will see GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) begin work immediately.

As Brazil ramps up efforts to modernize its energy infrastructure and decarbonize remote regions, the government plans to launch construction of small modular reactors (SMRs) in collaboration with Russian state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom.

A hydrogen leak in one of the heat exchangers of the Loviisa nuclear power plant’s second unit has led to a reduction in generation capacity, forcing operator Fortum to cut output to 50%.

A seismic shift is underway in the energy industry, defined by digitalization and integration, reshaping the future landscape. As energy systems evolve, digital technology and a more unified approach are increasingly viewed as pivotal.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has made headlines once again by reapplying for the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Small Modular Reactor (SMR) program, seeking an $800 million grant.
