Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Last Energy has filed a limited work permit application with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for foundation work on its 20MW PWR-20 reactor at its Caldwell County, Texas site, submitted on October 20 and noticed in the Federal Register on November 5. The request covers permanent foundation structures to support the reactor vessel, including site preparation, grout backfill, steel liner installation and H-beam pile driving, and is the first of two parts of the company's phased construction permit application. Last Energy also submitted a preliminary safety analysis, an environmental report and a site restoration plan with the filing. The move matters as an early regulatory step toward building the first of the company's small modular reactors in Texas, and what to watch next is NRC review of the limited work authorization and the submission of the second part of the application.
