Bill > HR3626

This bill establishes a comprehensive strategy to enhance the United States' international nuclear energy cooperation and exports. The bill creates a new White House Office of the Assistant to the President and Director for International Nuclear Energy Policy to coordinate nuclear export strategies and engage with ally and partner nations, particularly those developing civil nuclear energy programs. It establishes a Nuclear Exports Working Group to develop a 10-year civil nuclear trade strategy and sets up mechanisms to provide financial assistance and technical support to emerging nuclear nations. The bill aims to counter the nuclear energy influence of Russia and China by promoting U.S. nuclear technologies, supporting the development of advanced nuclear reactors, and facilitating international partnerships. Key provisions include launching an international initiative to provide financial and advisory support to countries developing nuclear programs, creating a biennial international conference on nuclear safety and security, and authorizing significant funding for small modular reactor development and export initiatives. The legislation also seeks to streamline regulatory processes, develop standardized frameworks for nuclear project management and licensing, and create mechanisms for international collaboration in nuclear energy research, safety, and technology transfer.
