The White House has unveiled a suite of new measures aimed at slashing risks associated with new nuclear reactor development and construction, underscoring its policy push to champion nuclear.
At a May 29 White House summit that showcased recent policy developments and industry investments, the Biden administration announced the formation of a nuclear working group that it said would draw on expertise from both the nuclear sector and the large-scale construction industry to identify and mitigate potential risks in reactor projects, such as cost overruns and delays.
