Trump Team Weighs Expediting Nuclear Power Plant Construction

Trump administration officials are crafting executive orders to expedite the approval and construction of nuclear power plants across the US, a bid to meet surging electricity demand.

The effort, described by an administration official and other people familiar with the deliberations, is still a work in progress. The president has not signed off on a course of action, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because no announcement has been made. Axios and the New York Times previously reported the discussions.
