Key Points

  • Oklo (OKLO), NuScale Power (SMR), and X‑Energy (XE) are MarketBeat's top nuclear stocks by recent dollar trading volume; the nuclear sector is closely tied to uranium prices, energy policy, lengthy project timelines, regulatory risk, and elevated volatility.
  • Oklo designs fission power plants for U.S. customers and provides used nuclear fuel recycling services, and is based in Santa Clara, California (founded 2013).
  • NuScale develops modular light‑water reactors (NPM and VOYGR) for power, heating, desalination and hydrogen, while X‑Energy builds small modular reactors and advanced nuclear fuels and is positioned to serve rising electricity demand from AI and data centers.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of Oklo.

Oklo, NuScale Power, and X-Energy are the three Nuclear stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Nuclear stocks" are shares of companies involved in the nuclear energy and fuel-cycle sector — for example uranium miners, reactor and component manufacturers, fuel fabricators, enrichment firms, and specialized services and engineering providers. For investors, these stocks represent a sector play tied to uranium prices, energy policy and regulatory/safety developments, and are often characterized by long project timelines, regulatory risk, and potential for outsized volatility. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Nuclear stocks within the last several days.
