Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should support the expansion of domestic nuclear energy and advanced nuclear technology as a viable source of power in order to promote United States nuclear energy leadership and global energy independence.
HRES 124 is a non-binding House resolution expressing congressional support for expanding domestic nuclear energy and advanced nuclear technology. It states the House believes the U.S. should promote nuclear energy as a reliable, low-carbon power source to enhance energy leadership and independence, citing its high reliability (92% operation rate), carbon reduction benefits (482 million metric tons avoided in 2021), and economic contributions (475,000 jobs supported). The resolution urges actions like streamlining regulations for advanced reactors, securing domestic uranium supply chains, and addressing misinformation about nuclear safety - though it does not create new laws or funding. It serves solely as a statement of policy preference, not a legislative mandate.
