Bill > HR4263

This bill, known as the 123 GO Act, aims to enhance the United States' nuclear sector competitiveness internationally by directing the Secretary of State to lead diplomatic efforts in several key areas. The bill requires the Secretary to negotiate at least 20 new "123 agreements" (bilateral nuclear cooperation agreements named after Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act) before January 2029 and renegotiate or renew existing agreements set to expire within the next decade. Additionally, the bill establishes a program to boost the global competitiveness of U.S. nuclear suppliers, investors, and lenders, which includes expediting intergovernmental nuclear energy agreements, promoting adherence to international nuclear damage compensation conventions, identifying and recommending ways to reduce export barriers for U.S. nuclear technology and services, and encouraging foreign countries to utilize U.S. nuclear technology and equipment. The bill also acknowledges Executive Order 14299, which relates to deploying advanced nuclear reactor technologies for national security, as reflecting the interests of the United States.
