Listen to the news
  • NuScale Power and MillenniTEK recently produced first-of-a-kind boron-oxide pellets for NuScale’s passive emergency core cooling system, a step that supports commercialization of its NRC-approved small modular reactor design and highlights growing supply chain capabilities for next-generation nuclear components.
  • The surge of interest in nuclear stocks tied to AI-driven power demand has pulled NuScale’s SMR technology into focus despite limited commercial revenue and the absence of binding power purchase agreements.
  • Now we will look at how AI driven nuclear enthusiasm and NuScale’s regulatory lead reshape the company’s broader investment narrative.

NuScale Power Investment Narrative Recap

To own NuScale Power, you need to think the NRC approved SMR design can turn into real projects with paying customers. The big near term swing factor is still a long term power purchase agreement, particularly with TVA through ENTRA1 Energy. Without that, the fabrication win with MillenniTEK does not change the core risk that NuScale has limited commercial revenue today and no binding PPAs. It does show progress on manufacturability and safety systems, which supports the story, but the immediate pressure on cash burn, dilution and funding timelines remains largely intact.

The announcement that NuScale plans to roll out nuclear specific AI tools with Nuclearn and NPX’s AtomAssist platform connects directly to the commercialization challenge. Faster engineering cycles could help move projects like RoPower in Romania and potential TVA deployments through design and licensing stages more efficiently. That may matter for timing of module orders and future revenue, especially as AI driven power demand keeps utilities exploring new baseload options. The risk side is clear. Q2 revenue fell sharply, there is no major replacement work yet, and a US$750m at the market offering signals ongoing dilution pressure.

Even so, once you weigh that regulatory lead against the dilution, the missing PPAs, and one more issue that often gets skipped...

Read the full NuScale Power narrative to see the case behind these numbers.

NuScale Power's current narrative assumes revenue could reach US$442.0 million and earnings US$49.7 million by 2029, based on analysts' estimates of roughly 245.8% yearly top line growth. That earnings path indicates a shift from a loss of US$415.7 million today to a profit of US$49.7 million, an earnings change of about US$465.4 million over that period.

NuScale Power's forecasts place fair value at $12.63 versus a $10.81 share price. This implies a 17% upside to its current price that could narrow fast.

Exploring Other Perspectives

One alternate story around NuScale Power leans hard into the TVA and ENTRA1 program as the real catalyst. In that version, bullish analysts were pencilling in about US$637.3 million of revenue and US$71.6 million of earnings by 2029, far above consensus. Those estimates all pre date the MillenniTEK pellet news, so you should expect opinions to move as new information lands.
