Global Nuclear Energy Assessment and Cooperation Act
HR 995 directs the U.S. Department of Energy to conduct a study on the global civilian nuclear energy industry and its supply chains, including environmental benefits, U.S. foreign policy roles, and security implications, with a report to Congress due within six months. It establishes a program to train foreign nuclear experts on U.S. safety practices and creates a new Nuclear Regulatory Commission branch to coordinate international reactor exports and innovation. The bill also prohibits licenses for nuclear fuel from Russia or China unless the Energy and State Secretaries jointly certify it poses no threat to U.S. national security. These provisions aim to strengthen U.S. leadership in nuclear energy diplomacy and supply chain security.
