https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5503652-trump-uk-visit-nuclear-power/The U.S. and U.K. are expected to sign a deal to bolster nuclear energy as President Trump travels to Britain.
A press release from the British embassy says the new arrangements will “turbocharge” the buildout of nuclear plants and are expected to speed up the time it takes for nuclear reactors to be licensed.
Commercial agreements between U.S. and British companies are also expected to be announced, including a deal between X-Energy and Centrica to build 12 reactors in England.
Meanwhile Holtec, EDF and Tritax are expected to announce a deal for data centers powered by nuclear energy and Last Energy and DP World agreed to establish what was described as a “micro modular” nuclear power plant.
