Projects in Texas and Tennessee are on the cusp of delivering first-generation small modular reactor (SMR) prototypes designed to eventually be mass-produced and make nuclear power the “energy of the future,” an industry insider told The Epoch Times.

“We’re going to start seeing SMRs come online by the end of the decade or early 2030s,” said United States Nuclear Industry Council CEO Todd Abrajano.
