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.

America is home to the world’s leading producers, innovators, and industrial powerhouses. U.S. manufacturers produce goods that are twice as clean as the global average. American companies produce goods that emit 40% less CO2 than the global average for the same products. American natural gas production emits 30% less fugitive emissions than Russian production, and fuel switching from coal to natural gas has driven world-leading reductions in CO2 emissions.
