ADVANCE Act of 2023

The ADVANCE Act of 2023 promotes U.S. nuclear energy development through several key provisions. It establishes prizes for the first entities to receive licenses for advanced nuclear reactors, including those for non-electric applications like hydrogen production and district heating. The bill extends the Price-Anderson Act through 2045, providing liability protection for nuclear power plant operators, and requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to report on reducing reliance on Russian uranium. Additionally, it includes provisions to streamline regulatory processes for nuclear facilities at brownfield sites and support workforce development in the nuclear industry.
