Nuclear Energy Supply Chain Reform: Cutting Red Tape for Cheaper Power.
This Act mandates a comprehensive government evaluation of the US nuclear supply chain to identify and eliminate unnecessary regulatory hurdles and reduce manufacturing costs for nuclear components. The long-term goal is to accelerate the construction of new nuclear power plants, leading to more stable energy supplies and potentially lower utility costs for consumers.
Key points
The government will analyze how to simplify certifications (like the "N-stamp" requirement) for nuclear component manufacturers to reduce production costs.
The US policy now prioritizes establishing a robust domestic market for advanced nuclear fuel (HALEU) to boost energy independence and national security.
The evaluation will explore using innovative technologies (e.g., 3D printing, AI) to improve the efficiency and security of nuclear component production and transport.
