Going Nuclear (or Not): How Regulatory Developments Are Affecting Nuclear Investment
This panel will address recent developments in the regulation of nuclear energy and nuclear waste storage, and how they have affected, or might in the future affect, the expanded use of nuclear energy across the country. Panelists will cover recent regulatory developments across the country. Among other things, the panel will discuss the potential ripple effects of actions by the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches on the nuclear industry. For example, the panelists will discuss President Trump’s executive orders, recent federal and state legislation, and the Supreme Court’s June 18, 2025 decision in Nuclear Regulatory Commission v. Texas, where the Supreme Court suggested its support for the NRC’s authority to issue licenses for the temporary off-site storage of nuclear waste.
