US government has established a target to deploy 200 gigawatts ( GW ) of new capacity by 2050 .

New capacity gains would come from multiple sources, including building new plants (including large, small-modular, and microreactors), uprating existing reactors, and restarting reactors that have retired for economic reasons.

To achieve this, the US government is also establishing nearer-term targets.
