US-Europe Nuclear Cooperation: Strategy to Counter Russian Energy Influence.

This law mandates the US government to develop a strategy aimed at strengthening nuclear energy cooperation with Europe. The primary goal is to reduce European reliance on Russian nuclear technology and fuel, thereby enhancing regional energy security and stability. The strategy includes promoting US and allied nuclear solutions and allocates funding to support new European nuclear projects and counter disinformation.
Key points
Energy Security Plan: The US must create a detailed plan to help Europe eliminate dependence on Russian nuclear fuel and technology supplies by 2030.
Technology Promotion: The strategy focuses on promoting US and allied reactor designs (including Small Modular Reactors, SMRs) and fuel cycles as alternatives to Russian and Chinese options.
Funding Allocation: $30 million per year (2025-2029) is authorized to support early-stage nuclear projects in Europe, capacity building, and countering Russian influence campaigns.
