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 media reports.

Draft orders say the US has fallen behind China in expanding nuclear power and call for a “wholesale revision” of federal safety regulations to make it easier to build new plants. They envision the Department of Defense taking a prominent role in ordering reactors and installing them on military bases, the reports said.

They would also set a goal of quadrupling the size of the nation’s fleet of nuclear power plants, from about 96.5 GW of net electric capacity today to 400 GW by 2050.
