House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) have announced a hearing titled “The Fiscal Year 2025 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Budget.”
“A robust nuclear energy industry is critical for providing affordable clean energy to Americans. It has the potential to bolster critical baseload power supply and improve grid reliability. This Congress, the Energy and Commerce Committee led in passing the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act. This legislation will modernize and improve licensing processes at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), ensuring we continue to grow this key part of America’s energy mix," said Chairs Rodgers and Duncan. "This hearing is especially timely, given that the ADVANCE Act was recently signed into law, and we look forward to discussing next steps to ensure the NRC is implementing the law effectively and in accordance with Congressional intent in order to power the future and cement U.S. energy leadership for decades to come.”
The Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, & Grid Security will hold a hearing titled “The Fiscal Year 2025 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Budget” on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 10:00 AM in Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
