NuScale Power has established a new operations center in Houston to bring its small modular reactor (SMR) technology closer to petrochemical plants, data centers, and grid operators. This move aims to facilitate the adoption of carbon-free baseload power for heavy industry. The expansion follows a collaboration to test high temperature steam integration for industrial processes. While the move strengthens customer engagement, the company still faces significant financial hurdles and project execution risks as it scales its nuclear technology.
