3. Launching an initiative to modernize civil nuclear outreach to embarking civil nuclear nations, including by assisting with nuclear safety, security, and safeguards training, and coordinating public-private financing relationships to support civil nuclear technology adoption.
4. Authorizing the development of financing relationships with ally or partner nations to assist in the adoption of U.S. or ally/partner-exported civil nuclear technologies by embarking civil nuclear nations.
5. Directing the Secretary of State to conduct meetings with at least 5 ally or partner nations to enhance nuclear energy cooperation, including on the demonstration and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors.
