AI Summary
This bill establishes and supports advanced nuclear energy research and development programs at the Department of Energy. It sets goals for demonstrating different advanced nuclear reactor technologies that could be used by the private sector to produce emission-free power, heat, remote or off-grid energy supply, or backup power at a levelized cost of electricity of $60 per megawatt-hour or less. The bill also directs the Secretary of Energy to facilitate access for the private sector to federal research facilities, personnel, and the results of federally funded civil nuclear technology research. Additionally, the bill amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to support the development of next-generation light water reactor fuels with improved performance and accident tolerance, as well as innovative advanced reactor fuels with improved proliferation resistance and resource use.
