**Strong trader consensus on "No" (92.5% implied probability) reflects the extended timelines for full NRC licensing of new commercial nuclear reactors, even amid accelerated policy support.** As of mid-September 2026, recent activity centers on restarts of shuttered plants (such as Palisades and Duane Arnold with DOE financing), DOE-authorized test reactors reaching criticality earlier in the year, and limited early-site exemptions rather than complete construction or operating licenses. Holtec secured an August 2026 NRC exemption for initial excavation and ground work on its SMR-300 units at Palisades, but this falls short of a full construction permit or combined license. While TerraPower received a construction permit for its Natrium project in March 2026—the first for a commercial non-light-water design—broader new-reactor approvals continue to face multi-year safety, environmental, and technical reviews. NRC proposals in September 2026 for regulatory modernization, risk-informed standards, and streamlined hearings aim to shorten timelines toward an 18-month target, yet these changes are projected to take effect well into 2027. Pending applications (including X-energy Xe-100 and Holtec SMR-300) remain in active review without imminent full resolutions. Traders view the remaining months of 2026 as insufficient for another complete license given historical precedent and the need for mandatory hearings, environmental assessments, and safety evaluations. A realistic challenge to this view would require an unexpectedly rapid final approval on one of the advanced dockets before year-end, driven by further executive actions or expedited rulemaking.

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.
