CORVALLIS, ORE -- NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, today congratulated its exclusive global strategic partner, ENTRA1 Energy, on being positioned to receive up to $25 billion in investment capital under the newly signed $550 billion U.S.-Japan Framework Agreement.
The bilateral framework agreement, announced by the White House following a meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Tokyo this week, will mobilize up to $550 billion in public- and private-sector investment to expand critical energy infrastructure and strengthen supply chains.
As part of this initiative, ENTRA1 Energy will develop a fleet of power plants utilizing baseload energy sources. The program will serve fast-growing energy demand from AI data centers, manufacturing and national defense, while creating thousands of high-quality American jobs and reinforcing U.S. energy independence.
“We are proud to support ENTRA1 Energy as they take part in this historic agreement between the United States and Japan,” said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power. “This collaboration underscores the central role of advanced nuclear in powering our economy, strengthening alliances and providing the reliable energy needed for AI, manufacturing and critical infrastructure.”
The announcement follows ENTRA1’s recently announced landmark agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to develop up to 6 gigawatts of new clean baseload power using NuScale’s SMR technology. Together, these initiatives highlight the growing role of advanced nuclear in supporting U.S. reindustrialization, energy security and decarbonization.
Hopkins added: “The U.S.-Japan framework validates the model we’ve built with ENTRA1—pairing proven, NRC-approved SMR technology with world-class development and asset management expertise. Together, we are accelerating the deployment of clean, baseload power at a scale and speed the world urgently needs.”
