How this table is built
Full methodologyEvery value comes from a public source: a regulator docket, the company’s own release, a filing or named trade press. The small number next to a figure opens that source. Empty cells mean no public source states the figure yet.
Each row carries the date we last checked it, and the newest check was 11 Nov 2026. Spot a stale number? Email hello@smrcompanies.com with the source and we update the row.

Questions buyers ask
Which SMR companies can start building now?
Five companies in this table have construction approval outside China and Russia. TVA has an NRC construction permit for a GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 at Clinch River (29 September 2026), and OPG has been building one at Darlington since its April 2025 CNSC licence. TerraPower’s Natrium has an NRC permit decision dated 9 March 2026, Dow’s Long Mott project won its NRC permit for four X-energy Xe-100s on 9 November 2026, and Kairos Power (Hermes 2) and Natura Resources (MSR-1) hold NRC permits for demonstration reactors. China’s HTR-PM has run commercially since December 2023.

Which SMR companies have deals with Google, Amazon or Meta?
Google signed for 500 MW from Kairos Power by 2035, and TVA buys up to 50 MW from Kairos’s Hermes 2 for the grid that serves Google’s data centers. Amazon and X-energy plan more than 5 GW of Xe-100 projects by 2039. Meta signed with Oklo for a 1.2 GW campus in Ohio and with TerraPower for up to eight Natrium plants (both January 2026). Switch holds a 12 GW master agreement with Oklo, and Equinix has deals with Oklo, Radiant, Stellaria and Rolls-Royce SMR’s Dutch developer.

How big is a small modular reactor?
In this table, modules run from about 1 MWe (Radiant Kaleidos, Terra Innovatum SOLO) to 470 MWe (Rolls-Royce SMR). The common grid-scale sizes are 75 to 80 MWe (Oklo, Kairos, NuScale, X-energy), 300 MWe (BWRX-300, Moltex SSR-W), 345 MWe (TerraPower’s Natrium) and 375 MWe (Westinghouse AP300). Microreactors, 20 MWe or less, power a single site: a base, a mine, a campus or a data hall.

Which SMR companies are publicly traded?
9 companies in the table have listed shares: NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR), NANO Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE), BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT), Deep Fission (NASDAQ: FISN), X-energy (NASDAQ: XE), Terra Innovatum (NASDAQ: NKLR), Hadron Energy (NASDAQ: HDRN), Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), Terrestrial Energy (NASDAQ: IMSR). Holtec postponed its proposed IPO on 17 September 2026; its offering did not price. GE Vernova Hitachi, Westinghouse and Rolls-Royce SMR sit inside larger groups.

What is the DOE Reactor Pilot Program?
A US Department of Energy programme that authorizes test reactors outside NRC licensing, with a goal of three reaching criticality by 4 July 2026. Antares (Mark-0, 4 June 2026), Valar Atomics (Ward 250, June 2026) and Aalo Atomics (Aalo-X, 4 July 2026) went critical in it. Radiant’s Kaleidos is in DOE’s DOME test bed at Idaho National Laboratory with approval for full-power operation, and Last Energy is building a pilot and Deep Fission targets its DOE pilot for 2027.
