# Daily Energy SMR Watch leads checked — 2026-09-13

Selected for publication:
- Deep Fission / borehole reactor-canister demonstration. Official Deep Fission release dated September 10, 2026 and World Nuclear News reporting dated September 11, 2026 verified. Substantive because it is a physical emplacement/retrieval test for an unusual underground SMR deployment model, not just another MOU.

Checked but not selected as the main article today:
- Centrus/Radiant HALEU contract: already published on Managing Expectations on September 11, 2026.
- Google/Fortum Loviisa nuclear PPA: already published on September 12, 2026.
- Rolls-Royce SMR/Siemens turbine manufacturing and Studsvik BWRX-300 Sweden consortium: already covered by September 2026 Managing Expectations Energy source cards.
- NANO Nuclear/Enveniam MOU: non-binding MOU; lower evidence value than a completed physical demonstration.
