Track; not yet
- Why
- By far the most mature of the three — real construction underway, a real NRC permit, real offtake interest (Meta) — but it is a first-of-a-kind reactor years from operating and still gated on HALEU and the operating-license phase. Concrete to track, nothing to adopt yet.
- Next
- Watch the 2027 first-nuclear-concrete pour, the HALEU first-core deliveries (ASP 2028 supply target), and the eventual operating-license application as the next hard de-risking gates; construction completion is self-reported as Feb 2031.
