flag The U.S. fast-tracks advanced nuclear reactor licensing to boost clean energy and meet demand, aiming for reactors by 2030.

flag The U.S. Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission have fast-tracked licensing for advanced nuclear reactors and fuel facilities through a new agreement, effective October 24, 2025, following a May 2025 executive order. flag The move aims to reduce redundant safety reviews, accelerate clean energy deployment, and meet rising demand from data centers and industry. flag The initiative supports companies like Oklo, Terrestrial Energy, and Westinghouse, with the Trump administration backing an $80 billion partnership involving equity stakes in Westinghouse. flag The plan includes potential government ownership of up to 20% of profits above $17.5 billion and could lead to reactors operational by 2030. flag Critics warn of safety risks, regulatory independence concerns, and past cost overruns, while supporters highlight energy security and decarbonization goals.
