Recent discussions on X about NuScale Power (SMR) have been buzzing with excitement following the company's remarkable stock surge of over 200% in the last quarter, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Many users are pointing to key developments, such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's approval of NuScale’s 77 MWe design and a White House order to fast-track SMR licensing, as catalysts for the rally. The conversation is lively, with some highlighting the potential of SMRs to revolutionize energy production through innovative technology.
However, not all sentiments are uniformly positive, as some posts on X raise concerns about the high costs and long timelines before small modular reactors become commercially viable. There’s also chatter about the stock’s lofty valuation, with a few voices questioning whether the current price reflects realistic future gains. This mix of optimism and caution keeps the dialogue around NuScale Power dynamic and engaging.
