Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base

President Donald Trump issued an executive order on May 23, 2025, aimed at revitalizing the U.S. nuclear industrial base. The order calls for increased production and operation of nuclear energy to enhance energy independence and national security. It directs the Department of Energy to develop strategies for managing nuclear fuel, expanding domestic uranium capabilities, and facilitating the construction of new nuclear reactors. Additionally, the order emphasizes workforce development in the nuclear sector and encourages partnerships with the private sector to strengthen the nuclear supply chain. This initiative seeks to position the United States as a leader in nuclear technology and energy security.
