NuScale Power's small modular reactor (SMR) design is the first of its kind to receive U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval, including Design Certification in 2023 and Standard Design Approval in 2025. — Regulatory approval is a critical hurdle for nuclear projects; this validation significantly reduces the risk of commercial deployment and enhances investor confidence.
