Kairos Power, Natura Resources, Terrestrial Energy and Aalo Atomics will work toward building small nuclear reactors at A&M's Rellis facility, a 2,400-acre innovation and technology campus in Bryan.

The site at Texas A&M-Rellis is expected to be able to accommodate multiple small modular reactors with a combined electrical output of more than 1 gigawatt. The Texas A&M University System has taken a big step toward bringing more nuclear power to Texas.

Arizona's three largest electric utilities will jointly explore expanded nuclear-power options. A new plant here could be operational by the 2040s.
