Accelerating Development of Next Generation Nuclear Reactors and Small Modular Plants.

This law expands the advanced nuclear reactor demonstration program, focusing on testing small modular reactors (SMRs) and micro-reactors. The goal is to speed up the deployment of new energy technologies that could provide more stable and cleaner power sources, especially in remote areas. The program mandates testing at least 10 different designs, involving financial partnerships with private companies.
Key points
Prioritizing testing of at least 10 different advanced nuclear reactor designs, including fourth-generation reactors and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Introducing specialized micro-reactors (up to 10 MW) designed to power remote locations or specialized applications.
Allowing new reactor tests on any site, not just those owned by the Department of Energy, through cost-sharing with private partners.
