Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Energy

“I am pleased to see the NRC heeded our call and made significant improvements to their draft proposed rule to better support the next generation of nuclear reactors. I am grateful for the years of work and public engagement that has gone into this rulemaking, and to know that the Commission is well ahead of schedule with today’s announcement.

As Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, I'll keep working to bolster safe, clean, and American-made advanced nuclear energy — including by getting the ADVANCE Act to the President's desk.”
