Amazon also follows Microsoft in spinning up nuclear energy, with plan to build small reactors in Washington state and Virginia and leading $500 investment in SMR technology.

Contract for second-stage engineering study on planned 462-MW small modular reactor project uses technology of NuScale Power, of which Fluor is a majority investor. 

Gov. Kathy Hochul acknowledged likely state power shortfall with clean energy project delays and growing needs, but officials unveiled plan for smaller reactors at Sept. 5 energy summit—three years after close of controversial Indian Point facility.

Firm will handle detailed engineering, preconstruction and nuclear supply chain development for technology firm's 50-MW thermal power facility eyed to support industrial facilities, data centers and other users in Wyoming.

Contractor will build estimated $629M demo facility in Tennessee for engineer-developer Kairos Power—the first and only advanced nuclear reactor that feds have approved for construction
