Nuclear SMR – Has the technology’s moment finally arrived? | SOSV Climate Tech

Fission-based nuclear power, specifically small modular reactors (SMR), may be poised for a breakthrough amid growing global demand for baseload electricity, the intermittency challenge posed by renewable energy sources, and the accelerating need to close CO2 emitting power plants as soon as possible. To speed up the energy transition, officials in California and Michigan have taken steps to revive nuclear plants that were previously slated for closure, which may be the opening the nuclear industry has been waiting for. Small, modular reactors (SMR) are one path to move forward quickly. What does the future look like for SMR startups, which have raised more than $15 billion to date, and where should nuclear power fit into the world’s broader energy transition strategy?
