Many nuclear executives are cautiously optimistic that the new pro-business Trump Administration will stimulate the struggling nuclear energy sector. The S&P 500, for example, has just reached $20 trillion in market capitalization for the first time ever. The 10% increase in the S&P index in just the first three months after Trump won the election and represents a $2.7 trillion increase in corporate value for U.S. companies–and that's before the Trump Administration has really gotten started. These are optimistic signs, but lingering questions for the nuclear sector are: "How much help will Trump provide to the nuclear industry?" and "How soon can the industry expect to feel it?"
