US Government Partners With Westinghouse, Cameco, Brookfield for $80B Nuclear Reactor Build

The U.S. government has entered a strategic partnership with Westinghouse Electric, Cameco Corporation, and Brookfield Asset Management to build at least $80 billion worth of new nuclear reactors across the country. This initiative aligns with President Trump's May 2025 executive orders and aims to accelerate nuclear power deployment to meet the growing electricity demand fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence and data centers. The reactors, based on Westinghouse's AP1000 technology, are expected to create or sustain over 100,000 construction and manufacturing jobs nationwide. The partnership supports national security objectives and America's goal to maintain global leadership in nuclear energy and AI development. Profit-sharing mechanisms are included to allow all parties, including the American public, to benefit financially from the growth of nuclear power and AI investments. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary Chris Wright emphasized that this collaboration fulfills President Trump's vision of a nuclear power renaissance and enhances critical infrastructure.
