White House Announces Support for New Nuclear Power Plants

05/30/2024

The Biden-Harris Administration announced measures to support the development of new U.S. nuclear power plants. The list of action items are aimed at helping the nuclear power industry provide emissions-free power to serve demand while still meeting President Biden’s goal of decarbonizing the U.S. economy by 2050. The White House Fact Sheet released this week describes components of the new plan, including: the creation of a Nuclear Power Project Management and Delivery working group, a deployment program for advanced reactors to power multiple Army sites across the nation, and a primer from the U.S. Department of Energy highlighting the expected enhanced safety of advanced nuclear reactors. 5/30/2024
