On May 23, 2025, President Donald Trump signed executive orders aimed at accelerating the construction of nuclear power plants in the United States. These orders are designed to jumpstart the use of nuclear energy, including small, untested designs like SMRs.
The executive actions seek to ease the regulatory process for new reactors and strengthen fuel supply chains, which are critical components for the successful deployment of advanced nuclear technologies. The orders also directed the Energy and Defense departments to collaborate on building nuclear plants on federal lands.
This policy support is a significant positive catalyst for NuScale Power and the broader nuclear industry. It signals a commitment from the highest levels of government to foster a more conducive environment for nuclear energy, potentially reducing timelines and risks associated with SMR deployment.
