Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The order directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to undergo reforms aimed at promoting nuclear energy and improving efficiency. The NRC is tasked with facilitating the deployment of new nuclear reactor technologies, increasing U.S. nuclear energy capacity from 100 GW in 2024 to 400 GW by 2050, and ensuring the continued operation of the current nuclear fleet. The NRC is also instructed to reorganize its structure to expedite license applications and adopt innovative technology, including creating a team to draft new regulations.
