Bill > HR4960

This bill, the Preserving Existing Nuclear Energy Generation Act, directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a civil nuclear credit program. The program evaluates nuclear reactors that are projected to cease operations due to economic factors and allocates credits to certified nuclear reactors that are selected to receive them. The bill also establishes a grant program to provide financial assistance to local governments that have experienced or are anticipating major revenue shortfalls due to the closure or announced closure of a nuclear power plant, assist with economic development in nuclear closure communities, and fund community advisory boards in these communities. Additionally, the bill requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to submit a report on actions taken during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
