U.S. Senators Kelly and Lummis introduced bipartisan legislation to modernize the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's licensing process for uranium enrichment facilities, aiming to boost domestic nuclear fuel production and reduce reliance on foreign sources, particularly in light of the upcoming Russian uranium import ban.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The US nuclear fuel supply just opened a window to domestic growth with new bipartisan rules that cut licensing wait times. If you build uranium facilities, the process just got faster and your project risks have shifted.
