Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Best-capitalized US SMR play with real regulatory momentum (FONSI complete, fuel license granted) and a named industrial offtaker, but no reactor built, FID years out, and fuel production not yet online.
Next
Treat NRC construction-permit issuance (final safety evaluation targeted Nov 2026) plus Dow's FID (not before 2028) as the joint go/no-go gate before considering Xe-100 a bankable firm/industrial-heat option.
