LCG, January 9, 2026--Meta today announced new, landmark agreements that will (i) extend and expand the operation of three existing nuclear power plants and (ii) drive the development of advanced nuclear technology. Meta's new agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo follow Meta's request for proposals (RFP) issued last month. Meta expects these projects to deliver up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean nuclear energy by 2035.

LCG, January 8, 2026--Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) announced today that it has selected Siemens Energy to provide steam turbine generator sets for B&W’s groundbreaking project to install and deliver one GW of power for an Applied Digital AI Factory. B&W and Siemens have entered into an agreement for a limited notice to proceed to secure the turbine sets, which will enable B&W to deliver power for the project by the end of 2028. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $2 billion. The full contract release is expected in the first quarter of 2026.

NRC Accepts TVA?s Early Site Permit Application At Clinch River Site for Small Modular Reactor
LCG, January 13, 2017--The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) yesterday announce that it has accepted for review the Early Site Permit (ESP) application for the Clinch River site near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted the application and associated information in May 2016.
TVA is seeking resolution from the NRC of safety and environmental issues related to constructing and operating a next-generation, small modular reactor (SMR) at the 1,200-acre site located approximately five miles southwest of Oak Ridge.
When the application was submitted last May, TVA's Chief Nuclear Officer stated, "This submittal is a key milestone for our company and the nuclear industry. TVA is the first in the industry to submit any type of application related to SMRs to the NRC. It's a significant event for us as we continue exploring potential SMR technology as a way of expanding our diverse portfolio to ensure a safe, reliable supply of energy for those we serve."
The NRC will use the application to review site safety, environmental and emergency preparedness requirements for potential construction of the nuclear power project. Accepting the application for review, or "docketing" the application, does not indicate whether the Commission will approve or reject the request.
Similarly, TVA submitted the application on the next-generation technology prior to making any potential construction decision. Initiating the application process helps TVA create clean energy options and the Department of Energy (DOE) to support licensing and siting requirements for U.S.-based SMR projects and accelerate the development of SMRs. The application and subsequent work on the review and approval process is co-funded under an Interagency Agreement between TVA and the DOE.
