Nuclear sector will draw approximately $1.5 trillion in cumulative capital investment through 2050, increasing nuclear's share of global energy supply from ~10% currently to ~17%.

Nuclear sector will draw approximately $1.5 trillion in cumulative capital investment through 2050, increasing nuclear's share of global energy supply from ~10% currently to ~17%. | Next hyperscaler nuclear PPA announcement

Key catalyst: Next hyperscaler nuclear PPA announcement

Watch events: NRC SMR license approvals; BYOP nuclear PPAs (Meta/MSFT/Google/Amazon); international reactor orders

Three Mile Island restart agreement; AWS-Talen deal; Alphabet/Kairos 500 MW; Oklo, X-energy, NuScale capital raises all support directional trend. Pace to hit $1.5T by 2050 realistic.
