Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Grants and export backing for partners
If enacted, State would launch a grant program within 120 days to help countries starting nuclear programs. Each grant could be up to $5.5 million, with at most one per nation each year and five total per nation. Congress would authorize $50 million each year for 2026–2030. DOE could also offer loans or loan guarantees for civil nuclear exports, designate companies after consultation, and waive some competition rules through 2030, with $15.5 million authorized each year for 2026–2030.
Big funding for U.S. small reactors
If enacted, the bill would authorize $1.439 billion in FY2026 to advance U.S. small modular reactors. The money would support design, licensing, and deployment and stay available until September 30, 2034. Goals include building a domestic supply chain and competing with Russian and Chinese designs.
New financing tools for reactor deals
If enacted, the President would launch an initiative to modernize outreach and line up financing with DFC and Ex‑Im. The Energy Secretary could ease some DOE competitiveness clauses to help close deals. The President would consider creating a center to provide model contracts, safety rules, and deal support. State, Energy, and Commerce would meet with at least five partner nations within two years to plan a 10‑year demonstration push and share costs, with a joint report due in one year. A working group would study a Strategic Infrastructure Fund and report to Congress within one year with draft text.
White House plan to boost nuclear exports
If enacted, the White House would create a new office to coordinate civil nuclear exports. A federal working group would write a 10‑year trade strategy with export targets within one year and meet with industry at least quarterly. The President would host a global civil nuclear conference every two years on safety, financing, and standards.
U.S.-India civil nuclear talks and reports
If enacted, the State Department would set up recurring civil nuclear talks with India. The first report to Congress would be due within 180 days, then yearly for five years. The talks would assess the 2008 cooperation deal and options to align India’s liability rules.
Technical change to nuclear licensing rules
If enacted, the bill would add “for a production facility” to two Atomic Energy Act licensing sentences. This technical change could affect how some applications are handled.
