US federal agency whose Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program supports TerraPower's first Natrium plant in Wyoming.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Standard Nuclear will fabricate fuel for the Kaleidos microreactor through the early 2030s. The interesting part is what the deal implies about where microreactor programs actually stall.
Reality
Chamath Palihapitiya says the state-level revolt against AI data centers could cost 200 to 300 basis points of annual US GDP. The permitting risk is now bipartisan.
Reality
Twenty-four new cascades at Eunice add 2.1m SWU, but the first units only produce in 2032 and the last go in through 2036. Fuel, not reactors, sets the pace.
Reality
The lab's case for spherical tokamaks rests on shape, beta and less steel. The compute needed to search that design space is not costed anywhere in the material.
Reality
The Kaleidos microreactor left El Segundo for Idaho National Laboratory on August 12, bound for a five-phase test campaign that ends with 150 hours of unattended full-power operation.
Reality
The ARPA-E-funded MAYER project would meter spent fuel continuously into a digital twin. The load-bearing claim is regulatory, not technical: a lower NRC security category and less downtime.
Reality
Bluecore Energy has leased Berth 48 at the Port of Long Beach for a floating small modular reactor, and the port has signed a standards agreement with MARAD. No licence application yet.
Reality
HiddenLayer says it will contribute to Prometheus, the Idaho-led federal effort to put AI into reactor work. The Phase II selection belongs to the consortium, and still depends on appropriations.
Reality
Anthro Energy broke ground in Louisville on a 25 GWh electrolyte plant backed by roughly $45.6 million in public money. It does not produce until 2028, a year after Chinese rivals plan trial runs.
Reality
The Pike County mega-campus is being financed like utility infrastructure: a supplier-backed lease and power obligation of up to $105bn, with first compute due in 2028.
Reality
Nvidia confirmed it will underwrite the first 4.25GW at the Pike County site, after cutting its reported exposure from $250bn to $120bn. The scarce input here is credit, not GPUs.

The reserve fell below 300 million barrels for the first time since the 1980s, and the argument is no longer about willingness to release oil. It is about salt.
Reality
The Information reports Nvidia would also guarantee OpenAI's lease and SB Energy's project debt at a 10GW Ohio campus. The line between supplier and financier is gone.
Reality
The Argonne-led hybrid pairs a cheap semiconductor with a light-absorbing membrane from salt-loving microbes, and out-produced the semiconductor alone by more than five times.
Reality
A published framework extracts an impurity Green's function on IBM processors using 8 qubits and 1 ancilla. That register size puts the near-term burden on circuit compression, not on qubit count.
Reality
A one-week DOE emergency order let PJM direct backup generation and storage at large-load sites. Operators who log that as a facilities event have mislabelled a live change to service state.
Reality
Brookhaven's STAR collaboration reports in Science that baryon number rides on a Y-shaped gluon junction. The one-third-per-quark picture in the textbooks would have to go.
Reality
Reported talks would make the chipmaker a guarantor of its largest customer's lease, not merely its supplier. That is a contingent liability, booked as a sales channel.
Reality
A Politico scorecard on 18 months of rollback finds $540B in tax credits gone and about $600B of appropriated spending intact, moving the investable dollar from buyers to grant recipients.
Reality
The August 14 deal names an EPC contractor and adds financing guarantees for up to eight 345MW reactors. Those are the items that decide whether a demo plant becomes a fleet.
