Nuclear’s Small Wonder or Grand Illusion? The High-Stakes Bet on SMRs Falters

The promise of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as the future of clean energy is facing a harsh reality check after the high-profile cancellation of NuScale's flagship U.S. project due to soaring costs. This deep dive explores the economic, regulatory, and timeline challenges threatening to derail the next-generation nuclear industry.

"All the arguments in favor of small modular nuclear reactors overlook a fundamental issue, said Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists: They are too expensive."

"SMRs are an expensive — and potentially dangerous — distraction, with timelines that stretch so far into the future they cannot be a genuine answer to soaring needs for clean power right now."
