Constellation Energy, Oklo CEOs join Trump for nuclear order signing

President Donald Trump signed orders meant to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants, including small, newer reactor types. “We’re signing tremendous executive orders today that really will make us the real power in this industry,” Trump said as he signed the directives in the Oval Office, adding that nuclear technology “has come a long way, both in safety and costs.” Trump was joined by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and energy industry executives including Constellation Energy (CEG) CEO Joseph Dominguez and Jake DeWitte, the co-founder and CEO of Oklo (OKLO). Other publicly traded companies in the nuclear energy space include Nuscale Power (SMR), Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE), BWX Technologies (BWXT), Centrus Energy (LEU) and Cameco (CCJ).
