International Nuclear Energy Act of 2023

The International Nuclear Energy Act of 2023 establishes a White House office to coordinate U.S. civil nuclear export strategy and international nuclear energy cooperation, focusing on "embarking civil nuclear nations" (countries developing nuclear programs but not yet operating them). It creates a Nuclear Exports Working Group to develop a 10-year civil nuclear trade strategy with biennial targets for exporting nuclear technologies, while authorizing $50 million annually for the State Department to provide financial assistance to these nations for building nuclear program capacity. The bill also establishes a biennial conference on nuclear safety, security, and sustainability to strengthen international cooperation and promote U.S. nuclear energy company involvement in global projects. Key provisions include developing financing relationships, facilitating U.S. nuclear exports, and supporting nuclear safety, security, and safeguards training for partner nations.
