Licensing is no longer the main risk: DOE approved the Aurora-INL preliminary safety analysis in June 2026. Unit economics are the real debate, because a powerhouse needs capex near $4,500/kW to clear a 13% hurdle against about $9,000/kW for first units. Fuel is conditional until 2029, and the base case needs 161m new shares (86% more) to fund the fleet.

What could prove us wrong

  • Capex stays near the ~$9,000/kW first-unit cost, worth about $5 a share
  • Power prices below $125/MWh, worth about $6 a share for each $20/MWh
  • HALEU fuel not delivered on time, with only a Centrus letter of intent in place
