NuScale slides again as dilution worries shadow small-reactor stocks

NuScale slides again as dilution worries shadow small-reactor stocks

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:58 ET — Regular session NuScale Power Corp shares fell about 2.6% on Monday, extending a late-year slide in high-volatility nuclear-reactor developers. The stock was down 2.6% at $14.46 in afternoon trading. NuScale and its peers have become a fast-moving proxy for sentiment on small modular reactors, or SMRs — smaller nuclear units designed to be factory-built and deployed in clusters to generate power. Bulls argue SMRs could help meet growing electricity demand, including from data centers, while skeptics point to long timelines and uncertain costs. That debate has sharpened into a near-term question for

Nuclear Stocks Week Ahead (Dec 22–26, 2025): Uranium Near $80, Centrus Fuel-Chain Catalyst, and SMR Volatility in Focus

Nuclear stocks head into the Christmas week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a holiday-thinned trading calendar that can exaggerate moves, and a still-bullish long-term narrative tied to grid reliability, AI data center power demand, and government-backed “reshoring” of the nuclear fuel cycle. New York Stock Exchange+2Investopedia+2 Across Dec. 19–21, 2025, the story wasn’t a single headline—it was a cluster of catalysts: uranium holding near the psychologically important $80/lb area, fresh “uranium renaissance” commentary around forward pricing, a major enrichment supply-chain update from Centrus Energy (LEU), renewed debate over small modular reactor (SMR) names like Oklo (OKLO) and NuScale

India’s SHANTI Bill Passes Parliament: Private Entry into Nuclear Power, Liability Overhaul, and Protests Explained

New Delhi witnessed a watershed moment in India’s clean-energy debate on December 18, 2025, as Parliament cleared the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025—legislation the government says will unlock investment and accelerate nuclear expansion, and critics say weakens accountability in one of the country’s most sensitive sectors. www.ndtv.com+2Reuters+2 The bill’s passage immediately triggered a political and social backlash: opposition parties raised alarms in the Rajya Sabha over safety, regulation, and liability, while power engineers, central trade unions and farmers’ groups announced nationwide protests from December 23, demanding the bill’s withdrawal.
