NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) stock rose for the second consecutive trading day, climbing 14.9% after reports that the U.S. House of Representatives will focus on nuclear power. The House Energy Subcommittee plans to discuss accelerating nuclear power plant deployment, including implementing rules from President Trump’s 2025 executive orders promoting nuclear energy.

These orders aim to have three experimental nuclear reactors by July 4, 2026, multiple small modular reactors (SMRs) by the end of 2027, and at least one nuclear reactor on a military base by 2028. While analysts predict NuScale may not be profitable before 2030, accelerated deployment plans suggest otherwise, driving the stock surge.

However, industry sources suggest that operational SMR nuclear reactors might not be online before 2030, casting doubt on profitability. Investors should consider potential risks before buying NuScale Power stock, despite the positive market movement.
