Bill > HRes124

This Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should actively support the expansion of domestic nuclear energy and advanced nuclear technology, which refers to newer, more innovative types of nuclear reactors, as a reliable power source. The goal is to strengthen America's leadership in nuclear energy globally and achieve energy independence by maintaining existing nuclear power plants, promoting new technologies like advanced reactors to increase energy output and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and recognizing nuclear energy as a clean power source on a level regulatory playing field with other clean energy sources. It also calls for supporting the Department of Defense's use of nuclear reactors for military energy resilience, addressing domestic supply chain issues for construction materials and nuclear fuel, encouraging domestic uranium mining and enrichment, and actively combating misinformation about nuclear energy safety. Furthermore, the resolution advocates for streamlining the regulatory process for nuclear reactors, providing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the agency responsible for nuclear safety, with resources to adapt its regulations to modern technology, and promoting the use of advanced nuclear technologies across various sectors including energy, water, medicine, manufacturing, space, and transportation.
