“This hearing will offer a chance to discuss the current state of our nuclear industry, addressing the licensing and deployment of nuclear power while examining how the implementation of recent laws and policies can support the industry’s growth — growth that will be vital to meeting our energy and security needs,” the subcommittee said.

The initiative follows President Donald Trump’s executive order last year, which aims to aggressively expand the industry as the US braces for energy demand growth from the artificial intelligence industry and the domestic manufacturing sector.

For its part, Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) has clinched multiple contracts with the Department of Energy in support of the latter’s Fuel Line Pilot and Reactor Pilot programs which aim to establish a domestic nuclear fuel supply chain for testing new reactors.
