President Donald Trump recently established the National Energy Dominance Council through an executive order aimed at increasing the United States’ energy production and achieving energy dominance. The executive order seeks to promote the use of US natural resources, including uranium, and the Council has been tasked with providing recommendations to the president within 100 days, including actions that can be taken to bring small modular nuclear reactors online.
The formation of the Council is consistent with the energy-related orders the president issued on his first day in office that we previously blogged about, and the explicit inclusion of small modular reactors in this most recent executive order is consistent with the US administration’s support of nuclear power and Energy Secretary Wright’s February 5, 2025 secretarial order, which includes plans to “unleash commercial nuclear power in the United States.”
