Nuclear Fuel Security Act: Strengthening Domestic Uranium Production

This act aims to boost nuclear fuel production in the United States to ensure stable supplies for nuclear power plants and new reactors. This means greater energy independence for the country and potentially more stable energy prices in the future, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
Key points
Support for domestic production of low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU), crucial for nuclear reactor operation.
Creation of nuclear fuel reserves to mitigate supply disruptions, enhancing the nation's energy security.
Prioritizing U.S. companies in the uranium supply chain, potentially supporting local jobs and technological development.
Making government uranium stockpiles available for new, advanced nuclear reactors, accelerating their development.
