New York is set to build a new large-scale nuclear power plant, the first major development of its kind in the US in over 15 years.
Governor Kathy Hochul has instructed the state's public utility to increase its nuclear power generation capacity by at least 1 gigawatt.
This project represents a significant test of President Trump's pledge to expedite permitting processes for similar ventures.
The new plant aims to address the aging reactor fleet in New York and augment the state's energy supply.
One gigawatt of power has the capacity to supply electricity to roughly a million homes.
