Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to accelerate the development and testing of advanced nuclear reactors in the United States. This order directs the Department of Energy to streamline processes and regulations to facilitate the rapid deployment of new reactor technologies, aiming to have operational test reactors within two years. While this move could enhance energy innovation and national security, it may face legal and political scrutiny over environmental concerns and regulatory changes.
