Trump says a nuclear renaissance is coming. The deals aren’t.

Behind flashy announcements and surging AI power needs, few agreements to actually produce power get inked.

Summary provided by WaPo: The Trump administration’s plan to revive nuclear power by building Westinghouse AP1000 reactors with Japanese funding faces skepticism. No commitments have been made, and industry insiders doubt the feasibility. The administration’s efforts to boost nuclear power are seen as aspirational, with concerns over economic viability and lack of binding agreements.
