PROJECTS
78 reactor, SMR, and nuclear-facility builds — by region, status, and owner. We track every project here; and specialize in helping owners and construction management teams recruit the NQA-1 quality, I&C, and nuclear-commissioning crews who deliver them
Use the navigation below to jump directly to the regional section you want. Each section is organized by status and project type.
Five projects whose scale, technology, and strategic positioning mark them as defining builds for the 2025–2035 nuclear construction cycle.
The first commercial sodium-cooled fast reactor in the U.S. Co-located on a retiring coal plant site, the Natrium plant pairs a 345 MW reactor with a molten salt energy storage system enabling 500 MW dispatchable peaks. The defining demonstration project of the U.S. advanced reactor cycle.
The reference point for the entire U.S. nuclear construction workforce. Vogtle 3 entered commercial operation in 2023; Unit 4 in 2024 — the first new U.S. nuclear units built in over three decades. The lessons-learned from Vogtle’s schedule and cost performance frame every subsequent U.S. large reactor build conversation.
The first industrial co-located SMR project in the U.S. Four 80 MW high-temperature gas-cooled reactors providing process heat and electricity to Dow’s Seadrift petrochemical complex — replacing natural gas-fired generation at a working chemical plant.
Restart of the previously-shuttered Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMI-1, not the famously-damaged TMI-2) under a 20-year PPA with Microsoft to power AI data centers. Restart workforce includes refurbishment, restart-readiness commissioning, and re-licensing scope.
The largest active nuclear construction project in Western Europe. Two EPR reactors (1,630 MW each) supporting UK low-carbon baseload capacity. Project workforce regularly exceeds 10,000 on site, with the first reactor targeting commercial operation late this decade.
