Congressman Bill Johnson has reintroduced the "Strengthening American Nuclear Competitiveness" act, which would make it easier for American businesses and incubators to compete with nuclear technology on an international scale.

Johnson says this bill "cuts through bureaucratic red tape" and allows investment in American civilian nuclear technology at home and abroad while maintaining nonproliferation protections. 

Additionally, Johnson says this bill directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to prepare for the next generation of American nuclear innovation in small modular reactor, advanced manufacturing and non-electric uses for power.

"America's energy dominance must be preserved at all costs; the fate of our country depends upon it. And that must include support for America's homegrown nuclear industry," Johnson said. "The Strengthening American Nuclear Competitiveness Act does just that, and I encourage all members of the House to support this commonsense and much needed legislation."
