What it does
Directs DOE's national labs to apply AI and high-performance computing to scientific discovery, naming nuclear energy as a flagship challenge — including a 'Prometheus' effort (with Idaho National Laboratory and NVIDIA) to cut reactor design and licensing timelines by up to 50%.
Why it matters
Ties nuclear's future to U.S. leadership in AI. An executive initiative, not a statute — but the kind of program that often seeds later authorizing legislation and appropriations.
This is an executive or administrative action, not legislation. It can be changed or reversed without an act of Congress.
