A coalition of 13 organizations is warning that the Trump administration’s push to fast-track nuclear development violates the Atomic Energy Act and undermines independent safety oversight.

The executive orders would weaken radiation protections, accelerate reactor approvals, and prioritize industry expansion over public health and environmental safety.

As NIRS Executive Director Timothy Judson stated:
“There is no ‘fixing’ or ‘reviving’ nuclear energy.”

We need independent regulation, real public protections, and investment in renewable energy—not dangerous nuclear deregulation.
