Strengthening US Nuclear Fuel Security
This act aims to increase domestic nuclear fuel production in the United States, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers. This means greater energy stability and power supply security for citizens, as well as support for domestic nuclear companies. It establishes programs to ensure sufficient fuel for existing and future nuclear reactors.
Key points
Increasing domestic production of low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) in the US.
Creating nuclear fuel reserves to address supply disruptions, ensuring energy stability.
Supporting the development of advanced nuclear reactors by providing access to specialized HALEU fuel.
Prioritizing US companies in the nuclear fuel supply chain, with options for partnering with allies if domestic options are not practical.
