American Nuclear Society applauds passage of bipartisan ADVANCE Act

"On behalf of America’s nuclear professional community, we applaud Congress for passing the bipartisan ADVANCE Act to boost the development and deployment of advanced nuclear energy.

We have witnessed historic levels of public and private investments in new nuclear energy technologies, that are essential to reducing emissions and ensuring the reliability and resiliency of our energy grid. However, successful commercial development of these technologies will require a modernized system of licensing and regulation.

The ADVANCE Act will give our regulators new tools to accelerate the licensing of next-generation nuclear technologies while reducing regulatory costs and hurdles."
