Advanced Nuclear Feasibility Act

HR 4674, the Advanced Nuclear Feasibility Act, provides federal grants to fund feasibility studies for siting, constructing, and operating advanced nuclear reactors. Eligible applicants include universities, private companies (like airport or hospital owners), and state/local governments in states with approved nuclear deployment plans. The studies must analyze electricity demand, grid capacity, environmental impacts, licensing, workforce needs, and economic feasibility, with applicants covering 60% of costs (reducible under specific conditions). The program requires competitive grants and mandates reports on study details for congressional review.
