Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of Energy to establish a Nuclear Fuel Security Program, expand the American Assured Fuel Supply Program, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a Nuclear Fuel Security Program and expands the American Assured Fuel Supply Program to ensure the domestic production and availability of low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to meet the needs of advanced nuclear reactor developers. The bill directs the Secretary of Energy to enter into contracts to acquire LEU and HALEU from U.S. nuclear energy companies, and to partner with allied or partner countries if domestic options are not practicable. The bill also establishes a HALEU for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Demonstration Projects Program to make HALEU available from Department of Energy inventories or stockpiles to support the development of advanced nuclear reactors. The bill aims to expedite domestic production of LEU and HALEU, ensure the availability of domestically produced uranium, address gaps in the domestic uranium supply chain, and maintain a reserve of nuclear fuels to address potential supply disruptions.
