AFPI Urges Congress to Advance Nuclear Energy
On behalf of the America First Policy Institute, we write to urge you to closely review forthcoming regulation from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Specifically, the NRC’s recently finalized rule under 10 C.F.R. Part 53 and an in-progress framework for microreactors should be assessed to determine if further action from Congress is needed to secure the reforms that advanced nuclear deployment requires. The NRC has described Part 53 as seeking to create a risk-informed, technology-inclusive licensing pathway that would make advanced-reactor licensing faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.
