NuScale Power Corporation (SMR) Advances Energy Innovation Through Partnerships

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) is one of the best manufacturing stocks to invest in now. On February 12, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) inked a strategic partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to enhance the use of artificial intelligence.

The two are joining forces to leverage AI to explore how fuel could be efficiently and effectively managed across multiple reactors. Nuscale already uses proven off-the-shelf fuel assemblies, offering a unique opportunity to enhance fuel efficiency in up to 12 reactors. The US Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear Gain has already awarded funding to the two partners in the research program.

“With the tremendous focus on growing energy consumption in the U.S. and around the world, NuScale is committed to bringing clean, reliable energy to our customers, and this strategic partnership with ORNL will use cutting-edge computational science to create even more energy efficient fuel management solutions for our multi-module plants,” said John Hopkins, NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer.
