What’s happening with Nuclear REFUEL (Recycling Efficient Fuels Utilizing Expedited Licensing) Act?
The Nuclear REFUEL Act is stalled in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce where it has remained without action since June 11, 2025. Committee members must choose to hold a vote for the bill to advance, but most legislation never receives this step. This lack of committee movement is the standard way most bills end their life cycle in Congress.
