FUSION & ADVANCED NUCLEAR POWER
President Trump announced a plan to expand U.S. nuclear energy capacity by 300 GW, which includes Westinghouse's proposal to build 10 AP1000 reactors by 2030, potentially creating 55,000 jobs and generating $75 billion in economic value. Additionally, AtkinsRéalis is seeking an NRC license for CANDU reactors to utilize spent fuel, while Canada ramps up uranium production, including the Rook I Project. The NRC's decision on these reactors will significantly influence the future of U.S. nuclear energy strategy.
