Call to Action

Ask your Senator to co-sponsor the Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (NELA), a new piece of legislation designed to promote a healthy U.S. nuclear industry that is capable of designing and deploying the most advanced reactor designs at a competitive price around the world. The legislation: Directs the Department of Energy to establish long-term advanced reactor R&D goals Directs DOE to develop a 10-year strategic plan to foster reactor innovation, development, and deployment Mandates development of a versatile fast test reactor Ensures high-assay low-enriched uranium availability Creates a pilot program for a long-term federal power purchase agreement for nuclear energy ANS supports NELA because it provides a strong platform for the U.S. nuclear industry to grow and compete in the global market. ANS is especially pleased that the bill would re-authorize the Integrated University Program (IUP) within the Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the National Nuclear Security Administration. IUP is critical in developing the next generation of nuclear engineers. Tell your Senators to co-sponsor this legislation and support the continued development of a strong U.S. nuclear industry.
