Atomic Supply Chain Solutions Act

This bill requires the U.S. Energy Secretary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the domestic nuclear supply chain within 270 days of enactment. The evaluation must assess regulatory hurdles (like N-stamp certification for safety components), explore how advanced technologies (such as 3D printing and AI) could improve efficiency, analyze U.S.-Canada collaboration, and plan for future demand from advanced nuclear reactors. It directly affects nuclear energy companies, manufacturers, and regulators by mandating a federal review to identify supply chain bottlenecks and opportunities for modernization. The bill does not change existing regulations or funding but sets the stage for potential future policy decisions based on the evaluation’s findings.
