Austin, TX, November 12, 2024 — The Texas Nuclear Alliance (TNA) is proud to announce that NuScale Power, a leader in bringing small modular reactor (SMR) technology to the global energy market, has joined as a Founding Member.
“Collaboration with NuScale is a strategic step in TNA’s mission to harness the potential of nuclear energy that meets current and future demands in Texas,” said TNA President Reed Clay. “By leveraging NuScale’s global leadership in SMR technology to provide reliable, flexible, dispatchable, and more efficient and resilient energy, the nuclear energy landscape in Texas will continue to be transformed for the betterment of all Texas industries and citizens.”
“As the first and only SMR developer to receive design approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), NuScale understands the importance of our SMR technology in providing communities with reliable, always-on energy to meet their growing needs,” said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power. “Amid rising energy demand, NuScale looks forward to partnering with the Texas Nuclear Alliance to bring carbon-free energy to the state of Texas and beyond.”
In addition to being the only SMR technology with design approval from the NRC, the world-class regulator of nuclear safety, NuScale is leading the industry in manufacturing preparedness, with its first six NuScale Power ModulesTM in production. NuScale is targeting deployment of its SMRs by the end of the decade.
