.Secretary Chris Wright: “It's been decades since we've built any meaningful nuclear capacity in this country... But President Trump is committed to getting this nuclear renaissance - that’s been talked about for years – going…We're going to see some plant restarts. We're going to see increased investment. We will see a small modular reactor hopefully running and definitely several under construction during President Trump's term in office.”

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Nuclear is the single biggest issue I work on."⚡️ Secretary Chris Wright: "We will have three next generation Gen IV reactors, critical, in Idaho National Lab next summer." "We are supplying HALEU, the fuel for these next generation reactors." "We've already committed to five and we'll give it to a dozen of these next generation reactor companies." "We worked in the One Big, Beautiful Bill to keep in the nudge, the tax credits for nuclear, because the government smothered the industry and killed it for three decades." "Even a free market guy like me thinks we need to get a little help to get it started." david friedberg: "How far away are we until it's free market running?" Secretary Wright: "Probably 10 years." "Because it's just a learning curve." "With the small modular reactors, you got to build up the supply chain and build them in volume." "The cost can come down dramatically." U.S. Department of Energy Thanks to our partners for making this happen: NYSE 🏛: Visa:

48 hours abroad. Two nations — UK & Bulgaria. One massive deal for Ontario. In Bulgaria, Ontario secured a large-scale nuclear support agreement worth hundreds of millions to support the build-out of two new nuclear reactors 🇨🇦🇧🇬 In the UK, we laid the groundwork for a critical mineral partnership agreement with Argentina and turned heads with global investors as we unapologetically promoted Canada's ethical resources to the world.

"We sell energy, not nuclear reactors." - Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors, founder of Valar Atomics "The best way to use a Falcon 9 at SpaceX is to own the entire operational cadence. You sell products like kgs to orbit and Internet connectivity." "Nuclear reactors are like this as well. You build reactors on large energy campuses, then sell energy to AI data centers which need hydrogen and synthetic fuels." "If we can make a synthetic fuel that's cheaper than diesel or gasoline, we can become the energy company of the world."

Oklo’s momentum is changing the paradigm of how we build advanced nuclear in the United States. Our Groves isotope test reactor is the only reactor built on privately owned land using commercially sourced fuel, equipment, and systems to receive Documented Safety Analysis approval under the U.S. Department of Energy Reactor Pilot Program. Oklo CEO Jacob DeWitte spoke with Liz Claman on FOX Business about how this project is establishing a new blueprint for how nuclear can scale in America:

NEW — $PLTR Head of Defense Mike Gallagher with The Nuclear Company CEO Jonathan Webb discussing the new partnership 🔮☢️ “Why does it take over a decade to build a nuclear reactor in this country? It’s not just regulation. What’s downstream of that? It’s all the paperwork it entails— soul crushing work. We can take all of that, put it in our software, automate what needs to be automated, liberating the workers building these, and dramatically collapse the timeline necessary to build reactors. That’s how we beat China. Via FOX Business

Bricks George Westinghouse and his Bricks engineering buddy have done it! They completed our new advanced modular AP1000® PWR building blocks set. Constructing a real AP1000® reactor is getting easier and faster! The sixth AP1000 reactor went into operation in the U.S. state of Georgia in 2024. It was 30% faster to build and 20% less expensive than the fifth one completed just the year before. The AP1000 reactor’s simple, modular design comes with the smallest footprint of any advanced gigawatt reactor design and pumps out more than 1,100 megawatts of emissions-free electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s enough power for 750,000 homes!

Today, we announced that Westinghouse is collaborating with Google Cloud to use AI to accelerate the construction of advanced Westinghouse nuclear reactors and improve operations in our current nuclear fleet. AP1000® technology is the quickest way to add new sources of affordable and abundant nuclear energy to the U.S. grid. Westinghouse’s powerful HiVE™ and bertha™ nuclear AI solutions and Google Cloud technologies are joining forces to make construction of new nuclear power plants even faster. Learn more about this new partnership launched at today’s first-ever Energy Summit and Expo at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa, organized by U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick:
