President Barack Obama has announced more than $8bn (£5bn) of federal loan guarantees to begin building the first US nuclear power stations for 30 years.
Two new plants are to be constructed in the state of Georgia by US electricity firm Southern Company.
Mr Obama said the plants would be "safe and clean" and were needed to meet the country's future energy needs.
