WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) announced that his Advanced Nuclear Deployment Act passed in the U.S. Senate. This legislation was included in a bipartisan, bicameral nuclear energy reform package, the Fire Grants and Safety Act of 2023, and now heads to the President's desk to be signed into law.

"Increasing domestic production of affordable, clean nuclear energy will lower your energy bill, create American jobs, help reduce inflation, and make us safer in the world. It's good for the environment, too," said Rep. Hudson. "I urge President Biden to put our energy security first and quickly sign this historic nuclear energy reform package into law."

In November 2023, Rep. Hudson reintroduced the Advanced Nuclear Deployment Act. The legislation was passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives in February 2024.

Advanced Nuclear Deployment Act:

- Reduces barriers to entry for commercial developers of advanced nuclear reactor technology;

- Provides regulatory certainty; and

- Reduces bureaucratic red tape with applications for ANR development, implementation, and demonstration.
