NuScale Power (SMR) is pursuing a $10 trillion opportunity but has faced significant delays. The company is projected to have its first nuclear plant operational by 2030 at the earliest, a shift from its 2019 estimate of 2027. Currently, it holds the only permit to build a small modular reactor (SMR) in the U.S., but there have been cancellations in its order pipeline.
