Unlikely to pass

This bill was introduced by one member and sent to a committee, where most bills stop moving without a lot of extra support.

Key Points

The Department of Energy would have to tell the public whenever they change safety rules for major nuclear facilities. These updates must be posted on a public website within 24 hours so people can see what changed.
The bill requires the government to share safety reports for high-risk nuclear sites. While they can hide secret business information, they must show the general safety plans to the public.
Whenever the government gives a nuclear facility permission to operate, they must announce it online right away. This announcement has to include any special rules or conditions the facility must follow.
Every year by January 31, the Department of Energy would have to send a report to Congress. This report would list all the nuclear facility approvals and actions taken over the past year to keep lawmakers informed.
