The Nuclear Company has announced plans to develop fleet-scale nuclear power across the United States to address surging energy demand. The company aims to build its first fleet, which would add up to 6 gigawatts of power, sufficient for an industrial city of about 1 million people. This initiative comes as the U.S. seeks major nuclear power expansion to meet rising electricity demand, as noted by Southern Company CEO. Recent regulatory changes have made permitting next-generation nuclear technology easier, further facilitating this expansion. The Nuclear Company, a new startup, is emerging from stealth mode with significant support and incentives from both sides of American politics.
