Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, Science, Space, and Technology, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The International Nuclear Energy Act of 2025 establishes a comprehensive government-wide strategy to expand U.S. nuclear energy exports and global nuclear cooperation. The bill creates a White House Office of the Assistant to the President for International Nuclear Energy Policy and a Nuclear Exports Working Group to coordinate civil nuclear activities across federal agencies, develop a 10-year trade strategy, and support developing nations building nuclear programs through financing, training, and technology transfers. Key provisions direct the Secretary of State to negotiate cooperative agreements with at least five allied nations on advanced reactor development and the Secretary of Energy to promote U.S. nuclear technology exports to countries strengthening ties with Russia or China, with authority to waive certain competition restrictions. The legislation authorizes approximately $1.439 billion through fiscal year 2034 for a small modular reactor initiative to build competitive U.S. reactor technology and domestic supply chains, along with $15.5 million annually (2026-2030) for nuclear workshops and expert exchanges and $50 million annually (2026-2030) for State Department grants and advisory services to developing nations establishing nuclear programs.
