NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) -- one of the most popular nuclear stocks on the market today -- is entering a critical period in its exciting growth journey.

NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) -- one of the most popular nuclear stocks on the market today -- is entering a critical period in its exciting growth journey. Long term, the company is chasing a $10 trillion opportunity. Over the next five years, there are three specific catalysts I'll be tracking closely. NuScale was the first company to obtain approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an SMR design in the U.S. Later, regulators approved an upscaled version of its designs for manufacture. While 74 SMR projects are currently under development worldwide, only one company -- NuScale -- is currently permitted to build one in the U.S. Early approval gives NuScale an advantage over the competition. The company could, at least on paper, get its plants built and online before its peers catch up, allowing it to establish critical proof points related to real-world costs and operating metrics. But so far, NuScale has yet to build an operating plant. Some of its biggest projects, including a prospective SMR plant in Romania that was agreed to more than five years ago, have faced continuous delays. Continue reading

Mobile phones are being barred from a growing number of classrooms around the world amid concerns about the disruption these devices can cause. While Hong Kong has not imposed a citywide ban, rules are tightening at individual schools. A student outcry at one institution has put a spotlight on the need to strike a better balance with phone restrictions. Form Three and Four pupils at the boys’ school Kwun Tong Maryknoll College were told on April 30 they would not be allowed to use phones on...
For Hong Kong-based artist Apple Tong Wing-yin, Wang Fuk Court has always been more than a home address. It was a library of her life’s work. Tong, a prominent deaf illustrator and graphic designer who communicates through what she calls her “silent language” of art, kept the many canvases that spoke for her inside her flat in the Tai Po housing estate. In November last year, that library was redu...
For Hong Kong-based artist Apple Tong Wing-yin, Wang Fuk Court has always been more than a home address. It was a library of her life’s work. Tong, a prominent deaf illustrator and graphic designer who communicates through what she calls her “silent language” of art, kept the many canvases that spoke for her inside her flat in the Tai Po housing estate. In November last year, that library was reduced to ash in one of Hong Kong’s deadliest fires. She lost everything – her awards, her backlog of...

The Gerrymander Debacle In Virginia Leaves The Democratic Party With A Dangerous Agenda Authored by Jonathan Turley via jonathanturley.org , “Eff around and find out”: That taunt from Hakeem Jeffries celebrating Virginia’s gerrymander did not age well. On Friday, the House minority leader found out that Virginia’s Supreme Court was not quite as gleeful as he about Democrats’ attempt to virtually eliminate Republican representation in the purple state. The court just cooked the party’s infamous lobster , a district over 100 miles long that was designed to help devour the GOP’s slender majority in the House of Representatives. It also cooked the ambitions of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic establishment, which tossed aside any pretense of principle in a raw political gambit. The resulting faceplant is nothing short of legendary: Spanberger’s Democrats have succeeded in alienating half of the state. For the governor, the court’s decision was particularly embarrassing. Before assuming power, Spanberger denounced gerrymandering as “detrimental to our democracy and weakens the individual voices that form our electorates.” She ran as a moderate, but Spanberger immediately turned sharply left once in office and called for the most extreme gerrymander in the nation. The court found that effort was not only unconstitutional, but “wholly unprecedented in Virginia’s history.” It characterized the state’s position as “a story of the tail wagging the dog that has no tail.” While some of us had previously expressed skepticism over the rushed effort to circumvent the state constitution, the media almost exclusively relied on liberal experts who predicted the new districts would be upheld. It was a calculated risk for Democrats, who have now burned their bridges with Virginia conservative and Republican voters. As Winston Churchill said, “Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.” Exhilarating and unforgettable: In a purple state where politician...
