Donald Trump signed on orders to promote domestic nuclear power
US President Donald Trump signed the administrative orders on Friday, which four times the domestic production of nuclear power in the next 25 years. However, experts say the US is very difficult to achieve this goal.
In order to accelerate the growth of nuclear power, these orders have empowered the US Energy Secretary to approve advanced furnace designs and projects, and for five decades, the US Nuclear Security Department has been seized from the Independent Security Institute that regulates the US Department of Atomic Energy.
The order came in a time when data centers and artificial intelligence increased due to the increase in demand for energy. Technology companies, venture employers, state and others compete for electricity and pressurize the country’s electricity phase.
Internal Secretary Dalk Bergam said, “We have enough electricity to win the AI arms race with China. What we will do in the electric field over the next five years will determine the future of the industry for the next 50 years.
At the same time, experts believe that it is very difficult to produce nuclear power four times over the time of the White House. In the United States, the next generation of furnaces are currently not commercially operating, and only two new big furnaces have been created in the last 50 years. Built in a nuclear plant in Georgia, these two furnaces have been delayed and over $ 17 billion budget.
US President is excited
During the signature ceremony of the Oval Office, Trump, surrounded by professional authorities, called nuclear power as a hot industry, and now the time of nuclear power has come and we are going to do it huge.
“This will withdraw more than 50 years in the industry,” said Trump’s newly created Energy -dominated Council President Bergam. Bergam and other speakers said that this position has arisen in the industry and is interfering with the excessive regulation.
These orders provide an arrangement for the reorganization of the Independent Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRC), so that it is rapid to review nuclear power programs, including the NRC instructions to take action within the 18 -month deadline in industrial applications. A pilot program has been developed with these activities, aimed at launching three new testing furnaces by July 4, 2026.
In addition, emergency measures will be implemented using the Protection Production Act so that the furnace fuel required for the modern nuclear power sector is ensured.
NRC spokesperson Scott Barnal said on Friday that the NRC was evaluating the administrative orders and that the White House was following the instructions.
