These compact reactors could power urban areas, support data centers, and even lower electricity bills, with bipartisan backing and new laws enabling research and workforce planning. Though four projects have cleared initial safety reviews, experts agree deployment won’t happen before the mid-2030s. The state recently lifted its nuclear ban, created a $5 million grant program, and is preparing for pilot installations at DOE and military sites by late 2027 and 2028. While some hope for rapid rollout, lawmakers expect a decade before these reactors become reality—building on the legacy of the Millstone plant while navigating safety, security, and public trust.
