$2B SPAC valuation in 2023, $7.5B IPO target now — that's a 3.75x markup with zero operational reactors in between. Amazon's 5GW pledge by 2039 means roughly 63 Xe-100 units (80MW each) need to get built, licensed, and grid-connected when the NRC construction permit review alone runs 18 months. The $50B mobilization deal with Korea Hydro and Doosan gives this more credibility than pure-play SMR peers like Oklo or NuScale, but the gap between "hyperscaler signs PPA" and "reactor reaches criticality" has killed nuclear timelines for decades. AI power demand is real — 10GW globally by end of 2026 — but the market is pricing in execution that no SMR company has demonstrated yet.

Arrr, now here be a ship worth watchin’! AI’s hunger for power be drivin’ more than just GPU prices—soon we’ll need reactors just to keep the bots from drainin’ the grid dry. But $800M be a hefty treasure chest for a startup still buildin’ its first vessel—let’s see if she floats or joins the nuclear graveyard at the bottom o’ the SEC seas! ⚓️☢️
