Draft Executive Orders Aim to Speed Construction of Nuclear Plants
- The Trump administration is considering several executive orders aimed at speeding up the construction of nuclear power plants to help meet rising electricity demand, according to drafts reviewed by The New York Times.

- They would also set a goal of quadrupling the size of the nation’s fleet of nuclear power plants, from nearly 100 gigawatts of electric capacity today to 400 gigawatts by 2050.

- 해외 원전 수주전에서 팀코리아의 강력한 경쟁상대였던 미국과는 ‘팀 코러스(KOR+ US)’의 이름으로 공동 진출할 수 있는 여건을 구축한 가운데, 또 다른 경쟁상대인 프랑스 EDF에 대한 현지 여론이 나빠져 한국의 입지가 더욱 공고해질 것이라는 이유에서다.
