SENATE PASSES BIPARTISAN NUCLEAR ENERGY BILL FROM CAPITO, CARPER, WHITEHOUSE

Press Release

"With today's passage of the bipartisan ADVANCE Act, we are one step closer to reestablishing America's preeminence as the global leader in nuclear energy in the twenty-first century. Not only does our legislation strengthen our national and energy security, it expands a clean, reliable power source that should remain a major part of our future energy mix. The ADVANCE Act achieves these shared goals by making the nuclear licensing process more affordable, predictable, and efficient, creating pathways to repurpose former industrial sites for nuclear reactors in the future, and providing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission the resources needed to help fulfill its mission. I'm thankful for Chairman Carper, Senator Whitehouse, and all those who worked with us to craft commonsense policy, go through regular order in our committee, and see it approved today by the full Senate."
