3. NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR)

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) is one of the top nuclear energy stocks to invest in for the next 5 years.

On March 19, 2026, NuScale Power said it had entered a strategic partnership with Ebara Elliott Energy to support the development, demonstration, and field testing of an industrial-scale high-temperature steam compressor designed to integrate NuScale Power Modules with petrochemical plants that need process heat. The companies said the program will cover development, manufacturing, and integration of key turbomachinery and energy-conversion systems for petrochemical applications.

NuScale said its modules are designed to produce process steam at 500°C or higher for industrial uses, with the steam isolated from outside facilities through an intermediate heat exchanger and then raised to a higher temperature through adiabatic compression. Ebara Elliott Energy brings more than 100 years of turbomachinery experience and has thousands of units operating globally in chemical facilities. NuScale added that the compressor project is already underway, with a target completion date in 2027.

Founded in 2007, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) develops advanced small modular reactor technology. Its NuScale Power Module is a pressurized water reactor that can generate 77 megawatts of electricity per module, with plant configurations scalable up to 924 MWe.
