Facts
Source per value- DesignThe company's lead reactor design name(s) as the company or its regulator names them; semicolon-separated when it markets more than one.
- BWRX-300 2
- TypeReactor coolant/technology family. Gas-cooled fast is separated from thermal HTGR designs; sodium-cooled includes both fast and thermal-spectrum designs.
- LWR 2
- Size classDerived from published electric output per module: Micro is 20 MWe or less, Small is above 20 and up to 300 MWe, Medium is above 300 MWe. Legacy heat-only classifications use one third of thermal output as an explicit comparison convention, not a claimed electric rating.
- Small 2
- MWe / module MWeNet (or gross where only gross is published) electric output of one reactor module as the company or its regulator publishes it. Null for heat-only designs.
- 300 2
- MWt / module MWtThermal output of one reactor module as published by the company or its regulator.
- Not published
- FuelFuel form and enrichment class as published (for example LEU UO2, HALEU TRISO, fuel salt).
- Not published
- Licensing stageFurthest licensing milestone reached with any national regulator: Operating; Construction licensed (construction permit or licence issued); DOE test authorization (a test reactor authorized or built under the US Department of Energy, for example the Reactor Pilot Program or the DOME test bed); Construction under review (construction, site or creation application filed); Design approved (design certification, standard design approval or GDA completed); Design review (formal design review under way, such as UK GDA, CNSC vendor design review or a French safety-options review); Pre-licensing (pre-application engagement only).
- Construction licensed 2
- RegulatorsNational regulators the company has formally engaged (NRC, CNSC, ONR, ASN, and others), semicolon-separated.
- CNSC; NRC 23
- Licensing detailThe milestones behind the licensing stage, by regulator, with dates.
- CNSC issued OPG a licence to construct one BWRX-300 at Darlington on 2025-04-04. NRC issued TVA a construction permit for Clinch River Unit 1 on 2026-09-29, the first US permit for the design. OPG’s 2026-11-10 update says Unit 1 will miss its earlier October 2030 commercial-operation target; a replacement schedule is not yet published. 234
- Latest milestoneDate of the milestone that sets the licensing stage (for example the day a construction permit was issued or an application docketed).
- 2026-09-29 2
- First siteLocation of the first-of-a-kind commercial or demonstration unit, with the owner or host.
- Darlington, Ontario (OPG): four units planned, Unit 1 under construction 34
- First powerYear the company or its host utility targets for first operation (criticality or commercial operation, as stated) of the first unit. A plan, not a guarantee.
- Not published
- OwnershipPublic (listed shares), Private (venture or privately held), Subsidiary (a unit or joint venture of a larger company) or State-owned.
- Subsidiary 1
- TickerExchange and ticker of the company or its listed parent.

- ListedFirst trading day of the company's shares (or its listed parent's current ticker) on the exchange named in Ticker.
- Not published
- FundingHeadline funding: equity raised, public listing, government cost-share awards (DOE ARDP, GAIN, Great British Nuclear and others), with amounts and dates.
- US DOE awarded TVA $400 million on 2025-12-02 to accelerate the Clinch River BWRX-300. 1
- Data-center dealTrue when the company has a signed, announced agreement (PPA, framework, MOU, investment or capacity reservation) with a hyperscaler or data-center operator.
- Yes 5
- Data-center partnersHyperscalers and data-center operators the company has a signed or announced agreement with, semicolon-separated.

- Data-center dealsWhat each data-center or hyperscaler agreement covers: partner, type of agreement, capacity and date.
- Blue Energy signed a power agreement with Crusoe (November 2025) for an AI campus at Port of Victoria, Texas: gas power from 2028, nuclear by 2031. In August 2026 Blue Energy signed an engineering and licensing agreement with GE Vernova Hitachi for up to five BWRX-300s from 2032 to power a nearby data center. 56
