美国核管理委员会批准田纳西流域管理局小型模块化反应堆建设许可。
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Approves TVA Construction Permit for Small Modular Reactor On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted a construction permit to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to build a small modular nuclear reactor at its Clinch River site in Tennessee.
2026年9月29日星期二，美国核管理委员会向田纳西流域管理局（TVA）颁发了建设许可，允许其在田纳西州的克林奇河（Clinch River）场址建造一座小型模块化核反应堆。这标志着美国监管机构仅批准的第二座下一代商用反应堆。
This marks only the second next-generation commercial reactor approved by U.S. regulators.
TVA正在评估在该地点建造多达四座小型反应堆，以减少传统核电相关的延误和融资障碍。
TVA is evaluating up to four small reactors at the location to reduce delays and financing hurdles associated with conventional nuclear power.
尽管人工智能数据中心带来的电力需求增长以及联邦目标激发了人们对核能的兴趣，但挑战依然存在。
While rising power demand from artificial intelligence data centers and federal targets have spurred interest in nuclear energy, challenges remain.
TVA尚未确定开工日期，且该公用事业公司此前估计，首座反应堆的成本可能高达同等规模燃气发电设施的六倍。
TVA has not yet established a construction start date, and the utility previously estimated that the initial reactor could cost up to six times as much as an equivalent gas-fired facility.
