NuScale Power's stock soared 11.57% intraday on Friday, continuing its strong upward momentum in the small modular reactor (SMR) sector.
The surge follows a landmark regulatory approval where US regulators approved a non-light-water reactor for the first time in over 40 years, a significant policy signal expected to accelerate the commercialization of advanced nuclear energy. Additionally, tech giants are increasingly investing in SMR technology amid the AI arms race, with Meta previously signing agreements to develop nuclear energy parks and fund reactor projects.
The partnership between Framatome and NuScale further underscores robust market demand for SMR fuel, with these layered catalysts driving the stock's sustained upward trend.
