- Next year, Romania is set to make a preliminary final investment decision on whether to construct a small modular reactor plant (SMR).
- State-owned nuclear company Nuclearelectrica is expected to collaborate with U.S. energy utility NuScale Power to build reactors, promoting low-emission energy sources.
- SMRs are designed for new applications such as replacing decommissioned coal plants and are easier to scale than traditional reactors.
- The Romanian project is backed by $4 billion in financial support from the U.S. Exim Bank and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, with potential investors also looking to provide equity for the project.

- On Tuesday, the Canada Infrastructure Bank announced a $970 million low-interest loan for an SMR at Ontario Power Generation's Darlington Nuclear Generation Station in Clarington, Ont.
- According to OPG officials, the reactor will begin supplying power to Ontario's grid in 2028.
- "We are doing this because nuclear energy, as a non-emitting source of energy, is critical to the achievement of Canada's and the world's climate goals," Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said at a Darlington station event Tuesday.
- The Darlington SMR will be built at several facilities across Ontario, including BWXT Canada Ltd, according to OPG.
