Trump's Nuclear Executive Orders

Last week, U.S. President Trump signed four executive orders to
accelerate nuclear power deployment:


Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for
National Security


Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base


Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission


Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of
Energy


To help us understand the implications of these executive orders,
I was joined by Thomas Hochman, director of infrastructure policy
at the Foundation for American Innovation. We discuss the policy
shifts needed to bridge political divides and streamline
regulation as the U.S. grapples with rising energy demands driven
by artificial intelligence and national security concerns. Are
these executive orders enough? Is America’s nuclear resurgence is
feasible, or merely rhetorical, amidst a competitive global
landscape dominated by China and Russia?
