## Summary

**U.S.–European nuclear energy cooperation** would be strengthened by a required State Department strategy that also aims to counter Russian malign influence in Europe's nuclear sector. The plan would assess reactor types, fuel cycles, nonproliferation risks, and ways to boost U.S. and allied competitiveness against Russian and Chinese firms. - It would push U.S. nuclear industry access to European markets by directing a strategy to broaden participation and promote U.S., European, and partner technologies against Russian and Chinese competitors. - It would require detailed reviews of reactor designs and fuel cycles, including small modular and non-light-water reactors, with analysis of deployment challenges and nonproliferation impacts and targets for reducing Russian market share by 2030 and improving energy security through 2030–2050. - It would shape U.S. diplomacy on nuclear cooperation and fund engagement activities, including capacity building, early project support, and countering Russian disinformation, tied to a formal strategy submitted in unclassified form with a possible classified annex. *If enacted, this bill would authorize $30 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029, totaling $150 million and increasing federal spending over that period.*
