Wealth Daily’s Top 3 Nuclear Energy Stocks

If there was ever a time to pay attention to nuclear energy, it’s right now…

Just a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at supercharging America’s nuclear energy industry.

The order directs a complete overhaul of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the agency that — until now — has been better known for slowing nuclear progress than encouraging it.

According to the order, the NRC will now prioritize faster approvals, support domestic fuel production, and encourage next-gen nuclear technologies to get built fast.

For anyone who’s been watching the energy space, this is a major turning point. And for investors? This is the green light we’ve been waiting for.

Trump’s order essentially resets the playing field, giving nuclear energy the kind of regulatory tailwind it hasn’t had in decades.

And with global demand for clean, reliable baseload power soaring — thanks to AI data centers, electric vehicles, and rising industrial energy needs — nuclear is no longer just a political talking point.

It’s an investable megatrend.

So how can retail investors ride this wave?

Let’s break down the three best nuclear stocks on the market right now — and one under-the-radar company that could be the fuel supplier for this entire nuclear revival.

Cameco (NYSE: CCJ): The King of Uranium

If you’re going nuclear, start with uranium. Cameco is the undisputed heavyweight in the uranium world.

Based in Canada, Cameco is one of the largest uranium producers on Earth and has decades of experience mining, refining, and supplying the fuel that keeps reactors humming.

Cameco’s got the assets. Its Tier 1 mines like Cigar Lake and McArthur River are some of the highest-grade uranium properties globally.

It's also got long-term contracts locked in with utilities around the world — which means predictable revenue even when spot prices bounce around.

But here’s the kicker: Cameco isn’t just a mining company anymore.

It's taken a massive leap into nuclear technology by acquiring a 49% stake in Westinghouse, one of the most iconic nuclear reactor manufacturers in the world.

That move gives Cameco a foot in both the fuel and tech sides of the nuclear ecosystem — and positions the company perfectly for the coming boom.

Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG): America’s Nuclear Backbone

While Cameco handles the fuel and the tech, Constellation Energy is quietly running the reactors that power millions of homes and businesses across the United States.

Constellation is the largest producer of carbon-free electricity in America — and yes, most of that comes from nuclear power. It owns and operates 21 reactors at 12 sites, making it the biggest player in U.S. nuclear generation by a long shot.

What makes Constellation especially attractive is that it's not guessing about the future of nuclear — it's already living it.

Its fleet runs reliably, efficiently, and profitably. In fact, nuclear accounted for about 60% of its generation mix last year.

It's also working on new clean hydrogen projects that pair beautifully with nuclear baseload power.

With policy now turning in its favor and demand for clean power only growing, Constellation is set up to be a long-term winner.

Westinghouse: The Tech Titan Behind the Nuclear Curtain

You can’t talk about nuclear energy without mentioning Westinghouse — even if it’s no longer a publicly traded name.

Westinghouse is a global leader in nuclear reactor design, maintenance, and fuel services. It's been doing this since the dawn of the nuclear age.

Its flagship design, the AP1000, is the world’s only operating Generation III+ reactor, and it’s already been deployed in the U.S., China, and several other countries.

Westinghouse is also deep in the mix on next-gen reactor development, including small modular reactors (SMRs) that can be built quickly and deployed almost anywhere.

Here’s how you can get exposure: As you already know, Cameco owns 49% of Westinghouse, and Brookfield Business Partners (NYSE: BBU) owns the other 51%.

Both CCJ and BBU give investors a way to play Westinghouse’s upside — without waiting for a separate IPO.

Brookfield is an infrastructure giant with a keen eye for long-term, stable cash flows.

By combining Westinghouse's engineering might with their financial muscle, Brookfield and Cameco are effectively reviving and modernizing one of the most powerful brands in nuclear energy.

The Dark Horse: A Tiny Fuel Supplier With Big Potential

Now, let’s talk about the small cap that could be a game-changer.

While the big names grab headlines, there’s a little-known company working quietly on something America desperately needs: domestic uranium enrichment.

Right now the U.S. imports nearly all of its enriched uranium — some of it from geopolitically sketchy places like Russia. That’s a huge vulnerability.

Trump’s executive order directly calls for a reversal of this trend, pushing for “the immediate development of a secure, American supply of nuclear fuel.”

That puts this small company directly in the spotlight.

It's developing the technology and infrastructure needed to supply the uranium fuel for next-gen reactors.

It’s early, and the stock is still flying under most radars, but the market potential is massive.

This could be your classic “tiny company, huge market” opportunity.

Nuclear’s Not Coming — It’s Already Here

For years, nuclear was stuck in regulatory limbo, buried under red tape and bad PR. But that’s changing — fast…

With supportive policy, rising global demand for clean baseload power, and next-gen reactors ready for primetime, the nuclear renaissance is officially underway.

Retail investors have a rare shot here to get in early — before the big money wakes up.

Cameco, Constellation, and Brookfield (via Westinghouse) offer blue-chip exposure to the entire nuclear supply chain — from uranium mining to reactor operations to advanced technology.

And for those looking to swing for the fences? Keep an eye on the tiny company aiming to supply the fuel to power it all.
