The nuclear industry is mounting a campaign against proposed changes to a Department of Energy rule regulating US nuclear technology exports, saying the new rule would handicap exporters and disrupt reactor operations in the country.
Under the rule known as Part 810, US companies have to obtain special DOE authorization to transfer nuclear-related information to firms or individuals in certain foreign countries. Such information transfer would be necessary, for example, if a US reactor vendor hires a component supplier overseas or a US firm provides consulting service on nuclear reactor operations to a foreign utility.
