Small Modular Reactor Developers Raise Over $1.5 Billion, Including $700M from Amazon; Valar Atomics Secures $19 Million Seed Funding

Developers of small modular reactors (SMRs) have raised over $1.5 billion in funding over the past year, driven by investments from major technology companies. Notable contributions include $700 million from an Amazon-led funding round for X-energy, $151 million raised by France's Newcleo, and $45 million secured by MIT spinoff Blue Energy. Recently, Valar Atomics emerged from stealth mode with $19 million in seed funding and announced a pilot reactor site. This funding surge highlights the growing interest in nuclear energy solutions as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
