US President Donald Trump signed a decree on an increase in the production of nuclear energy and the construction of new nuclear power plants in the country.
Trump signed a number of decrees on atomic energy before the press conference in the oval office.
Having stated that the United States needs a large amount of energy and atomic energy is very important to satisfy this need, Trump said that the United States should invest more in this area.
Trump in particular said: “Today we make an important statement of nuclear energy. Atomic energy is safe and environmentally friendly, and today’s decrees will make us a real power in this sector. We are talking about large nuclear facilities, and we have traveled a long way from the point of view of technology, safety and cost in this area.”
He pointed out the need for quick construction of new nuclear power plants. US President Trump adding that both large facilities and relatively small objects will be built.
“We will do it very quickly and very much. They will build 3 or 4 small stations and unite their capacities. France did this. We will also build large nuclear power plants. I think that in this respect there will be no equal. The time has come for nuclear energy,” he explained.

Trump noted that he will eliminate bureaucratic obstacles to the development of nuclear energy.
The president emphasized that the United States will benefit from the use of artificial intelligence during the construction and operation of nuclear facilities and will not lag behind China in this regard.
