On May 23, 2025, four Executive Orders were signed to accelerate U.S. nuclear energy development, aiming to quadruple nuclear capacity to 400 GW by 2050 and enhance national security, energy independence, and global competitiveness. These Executive Orders were labeled: 1. Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base 2. Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security 3. Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 4. Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy (DOE) Panelists will speak to the progress made on responding to each of these Executive Orders and future activities planned, and in need of planning, to move the industry to successfully reach the quadrupling of nuclear capacity by 2050.
