Trump’s Science Advisor Calls Nuclear Executive Orders 'Most Consequential Day' Since Atoms for Peace in 1953
Michael Kratsios, Trump's Chief Science and Tech Policy Advisor, described the recent nuclear executive orders as one of the most consequential developments since Eisenhower's 1953 Atoms for Peace speech. The policy changes aim to accelerate regulatory timelines from 10 years to 4-5 years, mobilize $3 billion in private capital, and position companies like NuScale Power (SMR) and NextEra Energy (NEE) as key players.
