NuScale Power Corporation announced on May 29, 2025, that it received Standard Design Approval (SDA) from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its uprated 250 MWt (77 MWe) NuScale Power Modules. This marks NuScale's second design approved by the U.S. nuclear regulator.
This approval increases the power output per module from NuScale’s previously-approved 50 MWe design, enhancing the economic efficiency and market appeal of the technology. NuScale remains the only SMR technology company with design approval from the NRC, positioning it for near-term deployment.
The early completion of the NRC review process, ahead of the expected July 2025 timeline, is a significant achievement. This regulatory milestone is crucial for meeting the demands of clean energy users and advancing the commercialization of NuScale's SMR technology through its partner ENTRA1 Energy.
