United States President Donald Trump is advancing plans to accelerate the deployment of nuclear reactors through a series of executive orders, aiming to strengthen both civilian energy infrastructure and national security. Reports indicate that the initiative will focus on the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Energy (DoE) to ensure a swift rollout of nuclear capabilities.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that this strategy is designed to bypass potential licensing delays typically associated with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), allowing the White House to expedite progress through other federal channels. The proposed executive orders will address a broad range of nuclear issues, covering both commercial energy production and military applications.

One insider described the move as encompassing 'a wide spectrum of nuclear matters, covering both civilian and national security attributes,' and suggested that the orders will likely 'bring wide acclaim from the nuclear industry.' By focusing on bolstering nuclear resources through existing defense and energy infrastructures, the Trump administration aims to meet growing demand swiftly and efficiently.

The effort is part of a larger push to enhance the country’s nuclear resilience and maintain its leadership in advanced energy technologies. As the details of the executive orders are finalized, industry experts and policymakers are closely watching how this development will impact the regulatory landscape and the broader nuclear ecosystem in the United States.
