- NuScale secured design certification from the NRC and is working with partners like ENTRA1 and TVA to commercialize SMR technology.
- Doosan Enerbility and NuScale are manufacturing heavy forgings for power modules.
NuScale and Doosan Enerbility sign contract for SMR component manufacturing
What happened
NuScale signed a manufacturing contract with Doosan Enerbility on October 30, 2026. The agreement covers the production of upper reactor pressure vessel and coolant system components for NuScale’s small modular reactor program. This contract moves the technology from design certification into physical supply chains.
Why it matters
The contract is structurally significant because it establishes a physical supply chain for NuScale's certified reactor design. This step separates the company's venture from purely speculative nuclear projects and supports its credible path toward deployment.
Doosan Enerbility and NuScale are manufacturing heavy forgings for power modules, and NuScale is working with partners like Tennessee Valley Authority to commercialize its SMR technology.
Who's involved
- Doosan EnerbilitySpecialized manufacturing partner supplying heavy forgings and reactor components for NuScale.
- NuScaleDesigns and markets small modular reactors (SMRs) and secured design certification from the NRC.
