US, South Korea, Japan unveil SMR deployment implementation plan

The US announced a trilateral implementation plan with South Korea and Japan to accelerate small modular reactor (SMR) deployments, signaling a coordinated push to expand nuclear energy capacity in the Indo-Pacific. The plan likely includes technology sharing, financing, and regulatory alignment, though specific commitments remain undisclosed. This marks a concrete step in allied energy-security cooperation, potentially reshaping regional nuclear supply chains and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
