US launches space nuclear power plan, boosting Oklo and NuScale stocks over 20%.

The US government announced the National Initiative for American Space Nuclear Power (NSTM-3), aiming to develop nuclear reactors for lunar and interplanetary missions. The plan includes deploying a 20-kilowatt space reactor called "SR-1 Freedom," with an in-orbit demo by 2028 and a lunar surface reactor by 2030. This initiative supports NASA and Pentagon goals for reliable deep-space energy, driving Oklo and NuScale stocks up by over 20% recently. These companies specialize in small modular reactors suited for space and remote use, positioning them as key players in future space exploration energy solutions.
