Reactors at Risk Act of 2026

Assessing risks to nuclear reactors in conflict zones. This bill would require the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Energy for Nuclear Security to submit a joint report within 120 days that assesses dangers from reactors that exist now or are scheduled to be completed within the next 10 years and that are located in areas that may face armed conflict. The assessment must cover regions with conflict in the past 25 years, including Russia's attacks on Ukraine and the broader Middle East conflict, contested areas likely to see fighting, and specific possible flashpoints such as a Russian attack on eastern European countries, a conflict between India and Pakistan, a conflict over Taiwan, or a North Korean attack on South Korea. The report must be unclassified with an option for a classified annex and be delivered to congressional defense, foreign affairs, and environment and energy committees.
