- NuScale cancellation (2023) proved that factory manufacturing alone doesn't fix nuclear economics — you need stable demand contracts first - Kairos Power (DOE backed) and X-energy TRISO fuel reactor represent different design philosophies: molten salt vs. helium-cooled - Microsoft-Constellation deal: buying nuclear power for data centers created the off-take contract structure SMRs need to be financeable - BWRX-300 (GE-Hitachi): evolutionary BWR design using existing regulatory pathway — lower certification risk than clean-sheet designs - The timeline reality: first SMR grid power in North America by 2030 is achievable; mass deployment by 2035 requires regulatory reform now
