Strengthening US Nuclear Fuel Security and Reactor Development

This act aims to boost domestic nuclear fuel production, making the U.S. more energy independent. This means greater energy supply security and support for new reactor technologies, potentially impacting future energy price stability.
Key points
Increasing domestic production of low-enriched and high-assay low-enriched uranium (LEU and HALEU) to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
Establishing nuclear fuel reserves to mitigate supply disruptions, enhancing national energy security.
Supporting the development of advanced nuclear reactors by ensuring access to specialized HALEU fuel.
Prioritizing products and services from the U.S. or allied countries within the nuclear fuel supply chain.
