Nuclear PPAs and SMR nuclear pair through X-energy's LOIs: the LOI is the instrument that precedes a PPA, and Post 074 shows them advancing at utility scale for data center load. The LOI-to-PPA conversion rate is what determines whether SMR nuclear moves from credible pipeline to bankable project.
The most famous nuclear site in America cleared an environmental gate to restart for an AI customer. A regulator issued a preliminary finding of no significant impact for the Three Mile Island unit now contracted to Microsoft. In the same window, a leading small reactor developer signed new agreements to study multi-unit plants for utility and data center load.
The signals around the crisis that started this story are shifting. A possible deal on the Strait of Hormuz has moved oil. But the AI buildout hasn't waited to see how it resolves. It has detached from the public systems that used to govern it and is assembling a power system of its own.
