Nuclear power, via SMRs, is the only technology combining reliability, low emissions, and scalability to meet both immediate and long-term U.S. energy needs.
Renewables alone can’t provide 24/7 power for data centers or industry, and gas undermines climate goals. Large reactors, while proven, are too costly and slow to build.
SMRs bridge this gap, but their potential hinges on overcoming regulatory and adoption barriers.
Europe and China are advancing SMR development and deployment at a faster pace than the U.S., leveraging streamlined regulations, government support, and aggressive adoption strategies.
The UK is a leader, with Great British Nuclear (GBN) selecting SMR technologies for a planned fleet by 2050.
Rolls-Royce aims for a 300 MWe SMR by the early 2030s, leveraging aerospace manufacturing expertise.
China is the global leader in SMR deployment, with the HTR-PM (210 MWe, high-temperature gas-cooled reactor) connected to the grid in Shandong province in 2023, the world’s first commercial SMR.
China has four operational SMRs (including earlier units in Russia), far ahead of the U.S.’s zero.
This gap threatens U.S. energy security, climate goals, and economic competitiveness.
While the U.S. innovates (e.g., NuScale, TerraPower), regulatory inertia and hesitant adoption let Europe and China seize the lead.
Nuclear power, led by SMRs, is the only viable path to meet the U.S.’s surging energy demand while achieving net-zero by 2050.
The U.S. risks ceding technological leadership and energy security unless it slashes NRC red tape, funds pilots, and builds public support.
Acting now can position SMRs to power data centers, replace coal, and drive a clean energy future by 2030.
