President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders yesterday to boost nuclear energy in the United States, including by rolling back regulatory processes on a still divisive technology.

“We’re signing tremendous executive orders today that really will make us the real power in this industry,” Trump told reporters as he penned the four orders in the Oval Office.

Trump’s orders aim to speed up the building of new reactors and to boost domestic mining and enriching of uranium, with the United States relying on imports for most of the crucial fuel.
