Nuclear Fuel Security Act
The Nuclear Fuel Security Act establishes programs to increase domestic production of nuclear fuel, specifically low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU), which are critical for advanced nuclear reactors. It requires the Department of Energy to acquire 100 metric tons of LEU annually by 2026 and 20 metric tons of HALEU annually by 2027 through contracts with U.S. nuclear companies. The bill sets specific deadlines for making HALEU available (3 metric tons by 2024, 8 more by 2025, 10 more by 2026) to support advanced reactor developers. It prioritizes using domestically produced uranium but allows partnerships with U.S. allies for HALEU when domestic production isn't available at scale.
