Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener flags five nuclear stocks to watch today — Oklo (OKLO), NuScale Power (SMR), Centrus Energy (LEU), BWX Technologies (BWXT), and Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) — which had the highest dollar trading volume among nuclear names in recent days.
  • NuScale develops modular light‑water reactors (SMRs) for power and industrial heat applications, while Oklo designs fission power plants and offers used‑fuel recycling, illustrating different commercial approaches within the sector.
  • Nuclear equities are driven by factors like uranium prices, government policy, long project timelines, and safety/geopolitical risks, so they offer baseload-power exposure but carry elevated regulatory and execution risk.
  • Interested in Oklo? Here are five stocks we like better.

Oklo, NuScale Power, Centrus Energy, BWX Technologies, and Nano Nuclear Energy are the five Nuclear stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Nuclear stocks" are equities of companies whose business is tied to the nuclear industry — for example uranium miners and processors, reactor and component manufacturers, engineering and services firms, and utilities that operate nuclear power plants. Investors treat them as a distinct sector because their performance depends on uranium prices, government policy and regulation, long project timelines, and safety/geopolitical risks, and they are often used to gain exposure to nuclear-generated baseload power or to speculate on nuclear-related commodities. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Nuclear stocks within the last several days.
