Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Science, Space, and Technology, Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Financial Services, and Education and Workforce, 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.

Bill would make nuclear energy rules permanent law.

This bill would turn four recent Executive Orders about nuclear energy into permanent law. This means rules for how the government tests nuclear reactors would become harder to change. It also means rules for using nuclear energy for national security and overseeing the nuclear industry would be permanent. Agencies like the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would be affected.

What Would Change

Today, four Executive Orders related to nuclear energy, signed on May 23, 2025, guide government actions but are not permanent laws. If this bill passes, these Executive Orders would become permanent statutory law, meaning they would be harder for future administrations to change or remove without Congress passing a new law.

Key Provisions

Would make the Executive Order on reforming nuclear reactor testing at the Department of Energy into permanent law.
Would make the Executive Order on using advanced nuclear reactor technologies for national security into permanent law.
Would make the Executive Order on reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission into permanent law.
Would make the Executive Order on boosting the nuclear industrial base into permanent law.
