Terra Innovatum Requests NRC Voluntary Preapplication Readiness Review Of Its Planned Solo Micro-Modular Reactor Construction Permit Application

Benzinga · 2d ago

The initiative is intended to align Terra’s licensing work with its previously communicated objective to submit the SOLO™ Construction Permit Application in 2026 for commercialization in 2028.

The readiness review is intended to support Terra's planned SOLO™ Construction Permit Application submission in 2026 by enabling NRC staff to review draft safety and environmental documentation in advance of a formal application submittal. Through this process, Terra expects NRC staff to identify technical, regulatory and administrative observations early, strengthening the quality of the application, supporting its accelerated parallel construction permit and operating license strategy, and helping to facilitate a more efficient review.

As part of the readiness review, Terra plans to provide draft sections of its Preliminary Safety Analysis Report ("PSAR") and Environmental Report to the NRC on a phased basis beginning in July 2026 through a secure electronic reading room. The Company has requested that NRC staff commence the readiness review in August 2026 to align with Terra’s planned SOLO™ Construction Permit Application submission later in the year.
