Congress passes bill to accelerate advanced nuclear projects : vimarsana.com

U.S. House lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill Wednesday in support of nuclear projects by streamlining the approval process and provided financial incentives to development companies to help them overcome the regulatory hurdles. The Atomic Energy Advancement Act, which received a 356-35 vote, would bolster the development and construction of new neclear reactors. The overwhelming approval of the bill, which was backed by 166 Democrats, is an indication of how much the needle has shifted toward embracing nuclear power as a means of carbon-free power generation.
