Trader consensus prices a 75.5% implied probability against the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issuing a full combined license—authorizing both construction and operation—for any new nuclear reactor by year-end, as the recent March 4 construction permit for TerraPower's 345-MW Natrium sodium-cooled advanced reactor in Wyoming merely enables site work without operational approval. This milestone, the first commercial construction permit in over a decade and expedited to 18 months, signals regulatory momentum amid surging AI data center energy needs, yet falls short of combined license (COL) thresholds requiring extensive safety validations. The NRC's Part 53 framework, unveiled March 26 to streamline advanced reactor licensing, offers long-term efficiency but no immediate COLs. With nine months left, historical multi-year permit-to-COL gaps and pending small modular reactor (SMR) reviews from NuScale and Kairos sustain skepticism.

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.
