Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.

Session Chair:
Matthew L. Wald (Science Writer)
This panel discussion will address the challenges in commercializing new nuclear technology in the context of solving the climate change problem. Advanced nuclear and SMR developers are collaborating with utilities to avoid the pitfalls of the past, and public-private partnerships are playing a crucial role in paving the path toward commercialization. The panel aims to provide insights from innovators and established nuclear operators on deploying advanced reactors and achieving synergies that can accelerate the time to market for these promising technologies.
