As of June 23, 2026, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) issued a conditional loan commitment to finance the purchase of long-lead time items needed to rebuild the commercial nuclear supply chain. The $17.5 billion nuclear supply chain loans will help fund 5 eligible projects sponsored by utilities and energy companies nationwide to accelerate the deployment of 10 large-scale commercial nuclear reactors across the nation by up to 3 years. The project supports the objective of President Trump’s executive order “Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base” by readying 10 new large reactors with complete designs under construction by 2030. According to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the loans will help accelerate the timeline to build large-scale commercial reactors by up to 3 years. EDF financing will support up to five loans, with each loan supporting two reactors per project site. Each of the 10 reactors will generate 1.1 GW of power.
