Executive Order 14300: Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

This executive order initiates sweeping reforms of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to accelerate the growth of U.S. nuclear energy. It criticizes the agency for slow licensing processes and outdated safety models that have stifled innovation. The order mandates a comprehensive overhaul of NRC regulations, imposes strict licensing timelines, and calls for a shift toward science-based radiation standards. With these changes, the U.S. aims to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 and reestablish leadership in global nuclear energy development.
