Sign InIn a move reflecting the growing shift toward strengthening clean energy infrastructure, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted formal approval to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to proceed with building a small modular reactor (SMR) at the Oak Ridge site. The approval confirms the safety and financial feasibility of the project, which aims to integrate advanced technologies into the power grid. The project is set to utilize GE Vernova Hitachi technology to add 300 megawatts of capacity by 2032.
This regulatory milestone comes at a time when the nuclear energy industry is experiencing a global resurgence, with companies such as NuScale Power and TerraPower competing to develop similar technologies to reduce carbon emissions. Per market data, this approval strengthens GE Vernova's position as a leading provider of next-generation reactor technology, especially as U.S. utilities seek to diversify energy sources away from fossil fuels.
Regarding equity performance, GEV stock stood at $1134.35 (at close July 01, 2026), after reaching an intraday high of $1161.69. Investors are now monitoring industrial production developments in global markets, with industrial production data from Japan and China expected on June 30, which may provide signals regarding global demand for heavy energy solutions.
