Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to reform the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The goal is to reduce dependence on foreign technologies, decrease regulatory barriers, and support the domestic nuclear industry.
President Trump has directed the NRC to reform its culture and realign its organization. This aligns with Congress' directive to rapidly promote nuclear power while ensuring reactor safety.
The President is committed to reestablishing the United States as a global leader in nuclear energy. This initiative aims to create tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and generate American-led prosperity and resilience.
President Trump supports all forms of reliable, dispatchable energy. He aims to harness nuclear power, fossil fuels, and emerging technologies for American energy independence and economic growth.
