Not by the feds. Watch plenty of China backed employers and charities require them for employment though. Agent Smith works in HR.
DOE approves new light water nuclear reactor design to begin operating in 2029 at Idaho National Laboratories..

The NuScale Power Module is an advanced light-water small modular reactor capable of generating 60 megawatts of electricity. Each power plant can house up to 12 modules, which will be factory-built and about a third of the size of a large-scale reactor. Its unique design allows the reactor to passively cool itself without any need for additional water, power or even operator action.
This key safety feature could lead to a reduction in the emergency planning zone to the site boundary—significantly reducing the footprint of the power plant.
Upon receiving full certification, utilities will be able to reference the design when applying for a combined license to build and operate the new reactors in the United States.
DOE is supporting the siting of the nation’s first 12-module power plant at Idaho National Laboratory. Operation is expected to begin in 2029.
