What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22
Track; not yet
- Why
- Strong commercial validation (Google/TVA PPA, NRC permits, fresh groundbreaking) but the technology is pre-operational with a demonstrated FOAK schedule slip on the sister unit; no power expected before ~2030.
- Next
- Watch for Hermes 1 completion/first criticality (now expected 2028) and the Hermes operating license submission as the de-risking gate before treating KP-FHR as a viable firm-power option.
