The Department of Energy envisions 10 large reactors under construction across five two-reactor projects by 2030.

The loans will support the construction of five projects that each host two big nuclear reactors.

The DOE plans $17.5 billion in low-interest loans for Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors, targeting ten new units as part of an $80 billion partnership.

The new nuclear funding will specifically finance 10 large reactors developed by both utilities and energy companies.
