华盛顿，4月16日（路透社）——美国能源部长克里斯·莱特在周四的听证会上对议员表示，美国首批5到10座拟建新核反应堆“几乎肯定”将获得美国能源部贷款办公室的贷款。
唐纳德·特朗普总统去年签署了一项行政命令，要求到2030年前有10座新的大型核反应堆开工建设，并要求核管理委员会加快反应堆审批进度。

目前美国没有获批的新建大型反应堆计划。
但美国政府于去年10月与西屋电气的加拿大所有者 Cameco 和布鲁克菲尔德资产管理公司达成合作伙伴关系，目标是建造至少价值800亿美元的反应堆。
该计划宣布前，特朗普在亚洲之行期间表示，日本将提供至多3320亿美元支持美国基础设施建设，包括西屋AP1000反应堆和小型模块化反应堆的建造。
美国最后一批分别于2023年和2024年投入运营的反应堆建于佐治亚州的沃格特勒核电站，尽管在特朗普第一任期内获得了能源部贷款办公室的数十亿美元贷款，但工期推迟了约7年，成本比预算超支约170亿美元。
美国能源部能源优势融资办公室拥有近2900亿美元的贷款额度，莱特去年曾表示，“这些资金目前最主要的用途将是核电站建设。”

WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) – The first five or 10 new planned U.S. nuclear reactors will “almost certainly” receive loans from the U.S. Energy Department’s lending office, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told lawmakers in a hearing on Thursday.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order last year calling for 10 new large nuclear reactors to be under construction by 2030 and for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to speed reactor approvals.

There are currently no approved plans to build new large reactors.
But the U.S. government struck a partnership in October with the Canadian owners of Westinghouse Electric, Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management , that aims to build at least $80 billion in reactors.
That plan was announced after Trump said during a trip to Asia that Japan will provide up to $332 billion to support infrastructure in the U.S., including construction of Westinghouse AP1000 reactors and small modular reactors.
The last U.S. reactors that came online in 2023 and 2024, built at Georgia’s Vogtle site, were delayed by about seven years and cost about $17 billion more than budgeted, despite securing billions in loans from the energy department’s loan office during Trump’s first administration.
The energy department’s Office of Energy Dominance Financing has nearly $290 billion to loan and Wright said last year that “by far the biggest use of those dollars will be for nuclear power plants.”
