The U.S. Senate has overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill (88–2) to modernize the nation’s nuclear energy sector, aiming to accelerate clean energy goals. The legislation streamlines licensing and environmental reviews for new nuclear plants and supports small modular reactor development. It also reauthorizes funding for the U.S. Fire Administration and local fire departments. Supporters say it will expand clean, reliable power options, while critics warn against weakening safety oversight. With 93 reactors currently operating, the bill could mark a new era for U.S. nuclear innovation and low-emission energy growth.
