The White House fiscal year 2027 budget proposal has requested almost
$54 billion for the Department of Energy in fiscal year 2027, with almost 80% of that funding going towards nuclear energy and nuclear deterrent programs. The funding request represents a nearly
$5 billion increase from 2026 levels.
The NNSA receives a
$3.6 billion (12%) increase from the prior year. The request supports warhead modernization, infrastructure recapitalization, life-extension programs, next-generation naval reactor technology, and nuclear emergency response teams.
These defense nuclear activities also advance high-assay low-enriched uranium ((HALEU) production with direct benefits for commercial reactor fuel supply chains.
Beyond reactors,
$NNE’s work on HALEU fuel transportation (in partnership with GNS) is being modeled as a separate, high-margin revenue stream that could begin as early as 2028.
