Small Modular Reactors Deployment in U.S. States

Planned

U.S. states are actively engaging in legislation and initiatives to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) to expand access to clean, reliable, and scalable nuclear energy. States like Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin are considering or have introduced bills to support SMR development through tax credits, cost recovery mechanisms, moratorium rollbacks, and siting studies. SMRs require smaller land footprints and less water, making them suitable for siting near data centers and industries, and states are leveraging this to promote economic growth and meet clean energy goals.
