Turkish drone giant Baykar is now working on small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, aiming for a 40-megawatt prototype.

Going with the russians for Akkuyu was such a mistake

Mistake how?

Baykar will study SMRs.

I wish nuclear power generation efforts pan out in time for MUGEM and next gen MILDEN projects

This company is not only the greatest gift for Turkiye, but the entire Islamic world. Making sure we catch up in modern warfare, space and nuclear technology.

I hope necessary steps will be done and an American company can be acquired. NuScale Power seems a valuation between around 5-6B $.

It will be definitely hard to acquire such a company but since there are a lot of companies like this, Baykar can have possibility to acquire one of them. NuScale has already some contracts. It means that it can be a good investment in addition to know-how transfer.

Finally a little bit of movement on this front. But as usual this can go two ways. Few more MoUs before everyone forgets about it in 10 years, or some solid results.

I listened to Carney as he was talking about improving relations with other countries and he said very positive things about Türkiye and mentioned specifically cooperation in nuclear energy. With Trump in power, Canada is desperately seeking to diversify their trade and defence cooperations, so I don't think they did it just for the sake of it. We should exploit this opportunity.
