The European Commission's Electrification Action Plan designates nuclear energy as strategic infrastructure for low-carbon electricity supply, committing to extend existing reactor lifetimes and streamline licensing procedures for new builds including Small Modular Reactors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build Small Modular Reactors or nuclear components, Brussels just removed a regulatory bottleneck - the EU is now actively streamlining licensing to accelerate deployments across 12 member states. Your customer is no longer waiting for permission; they're waiting for supply.
