The Trump administration is looking to speed up new nuclear power projects with a trio of executive orders intended to reduce the regulatory overhead required to get approval for new reactor licenses.
Trump, who said nuclear power had become “a hot industry” and “very safe and environmental” just before he signed the orders in the Oval Office, did so flanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the latter of whom said the signing marked “a huge day for the nuclear industry.”
