President Donald Trump signed executive orders aimed at accelerating the construction of nuclear power plants and strengthening the domestic nuclear energy sector. The orders seek to ease regulatory processes for new reactors and enhance fuel supply chains, with a goal to quadruple nuclear power generation in the next 25 years. Constellation Energy applauded the administration's strong support for preserving and expanding America's nuclear fleet. The company highlighted the focus on fast-track licensing, increasing domestic conversion and enrichment of nuclear fuel, and accelerating the deployment of new reactors. Constellation plans to invest billions into its fleet, including increasing generation capacity by up to 1,000 additional megawatts and relicensing its entire fleet into the 2070s. These initiatives are expected to create over 11,000 family-sustaining jobs and reinforce America's leadership in nuclear energy, crucial for economic prosperity and national security.
