Description

Three major Arizona utilities, Arizona Public Service Co., Salt River Project, and Tucson Electric Power, are exploring the construction of a new nuclear power plant to meet rising energy demand in the state. This exploration includes evaluating emerging nuclear technologies such as small, advanced nuclear reactors and large reactors. The project is influenced by four new federal executive orders signed by President Trump aimed at boosting nuclear power projects by easing regulations, promoting domestic uranium production, and prioritizing funding for nuclear projects.
