This market will resolve to "Yes" if the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues a new combined license (COL) for the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." A combined license must be clearly identified as such and documented in official NRC releases. Only initial issuances count; amendments, renewals, or partial approvals do not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. Recent NRC actions, including the March 2026 construction permit for TerraPower’s Natrium advanced reactor and the April 29 effective date of the new Part 53 risk-informed licensing framework, have accelerated pre-construction reviews for small modular reactors and non-light-water designs. However, full operating licenses or combined licenses require extended safety, environmental, and public-comment phases that typically span multiple years beyond initial permits. With Part 57 microreactor rules still in proposal and most applications in early review stages as of mid-2026, traders see limited scope for any complete license grant before year-end, sustaining the 74.5% implied probability for “No.” Upcoming catalysts include additional construction-permit decisions and potential early-site-permit outcomes, but these fall short of operational licensing thresholds.
