NRC proposes security regulation changes
In 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14300, “‘Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which directs the NRC to conduct a sweeping, multifaceted overhaul of its structure, culture, and regulations with the aim of facilitating increased deployment of new nuclear technologies and capacity.

Low Energy nuclear Reaction (LENR) Cells are a new way to use nano-structured electrodes in power cells to produce nuclear reactions at low temperature (relative to the temperature for hot fusion). While still in the research stage, this promises ultimate development of “green” nuclear powered “batteries”, offering remarkable energy densities well beyond present technology. The background for this technology and current research on LENR are discussed.
