Trump Goes Nuclear

Diluting safety and environmental reviews is also likely to lead to a lot of litigation, which will slow nuclear licensing to a crawl.  In addition, the industry knows that what one President can do by executive order, the next President can undo.  So it could be risky to make investments in facilities that will be around for many decades, based on what could be an evanescent presidential policy. And the public will have good reason to fear that public safety won't be a priority.
