Almost two years after CNL’s first request for SMR proposals, CNL believes its target of a first demonstration reactor by 2026 could yet be achieved.

The CNL assessment indicates it is possible, though there are many factors and uncertainties (including regulatory, technical, and financial) that could pose challenges,” CNL told Nuclear Energy Insider.
