The US Energy Department has received the first commercial shipment of advanced nuclear fuel, crucial for developing new reactor types. Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems and NuScale have terminated the Carbon Free Power Project, canceling plans for a 462 MW nuclear power complex in Idaho due to high projected costs. The cancellation serves as a reminder that the energy transition won't be fast, cheap, or easy.
The big question now is whether the demise of an Idaho nuclear plan is a momentary bummer for next-wave small reactors — or a really bad omen. https://t.co/eiXkuZbpAP

Six nuclear reactors just 9 feet across planned for Idaho were supposed to prove out the dream of cheap, small-scale nuclear energy. Now the project has been canceled. https://t.co/SZDutKgqq9
Small modular reactor pioneer NuScale (SMR) has canceled plans to build a 462 MW nuclear power complex in Idaho as projected costs exploded. The price point was set at an eyewatering $89/MWh ... wind, solar and gas range from $25-40 MWh. https://t.co/UR9Cq9qcDh
There was an image created that the energy transition was going to be fast, cheap, and easy. The NuScale cancellation is a reminder that it won't be. That doesn't mean the focus on reducing emissions should stop or slow. We must have an energy system that is environmentally… https://t.co/nME1vmOczz
