Could go either way

The bill has bipartisan support and addresses a major national security issue, but strategy-focused bills often need to be part of a larger package to pass.

Key Points

This bill requires the State Department to create a plan to help European countries stop using Russian nuclear technology and fuel. Currently, Russia controls a large portion of the world's uranium supply, which gives them significant power over the energy used in many European nations.
The strategy would focus on promoting American nuclear products and services in Europe. It also looks at using new technologies, like small modular reactors, to help these countries become energy independent between now and the year 2050.
The bill authorizes $30 million every year through 2029 to support this effort. This money would be used to help European partners build their own nuclear energy skills and to fight Russian misinformation campaigns about energy security.
By moving away from Russian supplies, the goal is to make the energy grid in Europe safer and more reliable. This has become a major concern for U.S. leaders following the invasion of Ukraine and the Russian occupation of large nuclear power plants there.
