Abstract

The article focuses on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) seeking federal approval to construct a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR), specifically the BWRX-300 developed by GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. This initiative marks the first attempt by a U.S. utility to pursue such a project, driven by increasing power demands from data centers. The TVA plans to build the reactor at a site in Clinch River, near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The growing interest in nuclear energy is highlighted by the comparison to traditional large-scale reactors, as SMRs are anticipated to be more efficient in terms of construction and deployment.
