US strategy to boost global nuclear energy cooperation and advanced reactor exports.
This Act aims to establish a cohesive US government strategy to promote American civil nuclear technology globally, particularly in nations developing their nuclear programs. Citizens may feel an indirect impact through strengthened US leadership in global energy, potentially enhancing energy security and creating new export opportunities for US companies. Key provisions include establishing a new White House office to coordinate these efforts and providing financial support to partner nations to build secure nuclear programs, steering them away from Russian and Chinese technology.
