John Hopkins, President and CEO of NuScale Power, discussed the company's progress during its Q2 2026 earnings call on August 5, 2026. He noted that demand for reliable carbon-free energy remains strong and that the company is in regular discussions with hyperscalers, utilities, and governments. Hopkins stated that preconditions for moving forward are in place, including regulatory approval, fuel supply, mature engineering, and a mostly contracted supply chain, with long-lead items already in production. He said the market is awaiting definitive agreements before the company can proceed. Regarding international projects, Hopkins said NuScale, as a subcontractor to Fluor Corporation, completed front-end engineering design for a project in Romania. He mentioned plans to meet with the newly seated Romanian government later in the month to finalize contract agreements, with a final notice to proceed expected in about a year. On regulatory matters, he indicated that approximately 60% of the combined operating license application from a previous project could be utilized for other U.S. projects, though he did not specify the associated cost or time savings.
