Dairyland's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore NuScale Power's small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology as part of our clean energy transition has gained national interest. Nuclear is the only non-carbon emitting resource that can support the integration of renewable resources and ensure a 24/7 power supply.
