NRC

Our Chairman joined @GovCox at the Operation Gigawatt Summit to discuss the future of nuclear energy. He discussed NRC efforts to modernize licensing frameworks across the nuclear life cycle to accelerate safe deployment of nuclear technologies to support America’s energy needs.

Good morning from @GovCox’s Operation Gigawatt Summit! We’re spending the day planning the next century of energy abundance. Governor Cox is kicking off the day on the main stage⚡

Chairmen Nieh says it best: We have a new NRC that will not be an impediment to nuclear technologies. We’ve got to get shovels in the ground!

Our greatest asset is our people, and we couldn’t reach these milestones without the hard work of our dedicated staff. We’re continuing to implement #EO14300 and align with the nation’s energy needs. Stay tuned for updates on our ongoing efforts at: nrc.gov/about-nrc/gove…

🎉Welcome back, Anna Bradford! We’re excited to welcome Anna back to the NRC this week as NRR’s new Office Director. Her leadership, deep commitment to nuclear safety, and focus on enabling innovation will help drive the agency forward.

Modern oversight needs modern tools—so we're bringing in digital systems, data analytics, and new inspection methods for faster, smarter nuclear regulation. Expert judgment, powered by innovation.

Why NRC Part 53 Is a Huge Deal

A new NRC has emerged that enables and accelerates the safe and secure deployment of nuclear technologies. Today, our Commission and EDO recognized efforts in driving change under EO 14300, including multiple historic licensing actions and pressing forward on new rules.

1/5 🚨 One year ago, President Trump signed EO 14300, ordering the NRC to overhaul nuclear regulation. The result? Historic firsts, 33 active rulemakings, and what Chairman Nieh calls the biggest redesign in 50 years.
