Trump fires nuclear chief in energy deregulation shakeup – Oil & Gas 360

(Oil Price) – In a dramatic escalation with sweeping implications for the U.S. nuclear industry, President Donald Trump has removed Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Christopher Hanson, opening up a big vacancy at the top for a candidate with softer regulatory inclinations.

The NRC, which oversees the operation of America’s 94 commercial nuclear reactors and regulates new designs such as small modular reactors (SMRs), plays a pivotal role in U.S. energy security and the clean energy transition.

Trump’s move allows his administration to appoint new leadership that could accelerate licensing processes, ease certain regulatory burdens, and potentially fast-track the deployment of next-generation nuclear technologies that fit his broader “energy dominance” strategy, NPR reports.

Critics of Hanson have argued that his tenure favored cautious, risk-averse regulatory frameworks that could delay or discourage private-sector investment. By contrast, Trump’s allies are expected to push for a more permissive environment aimed at strengthening U.S. competitiveness against Russia’s Rosatom and South Korea’s KHNP in the global reactor export market.

These moves could also influence U.S. leverage in critical supply chain negotiations over nuclear fuel enrichment and uranium sourcing, particularly amid ongoing tensions with China.

Major tech companies including Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, which are increasingly reliant on long-term nuclear power purchase agreements to fuel AI-driven data infrastructure, are closely watching how the leadership change could affect advanced reactor project approvals and market timelines. The industry is bracing for one of the most consequential shifts in U.S. nuclear oversight in years.

The deals are lining up, quickly. Constellation Energy and Meta inked a 20?year deal earlier in June for 1,121?MW of output, supporting its relicensing through a $13.5?million?annual tax revenue. Amazon Web Services (AWS) also expanded its nuclear portfolio via a revised “front?of?meter” PPA with Talen Energy, securing up to 1,920?MW through 2042, including backing for future SMRs.
