About

The Advanced Nuclear Caucus is a bipartisan congressional caucus dedicated to championing the future of nuclear energy in the United States and around the world. Comprised of Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, the Caucus recognizes that meeting our nation's growing energy demands, while simultaneously addressing the urgent need for clean, reliable, and secure power, requires bold solutions that transcend political divisions.

The Caucus is committed to raising awareness among policymakers, industry leaders, and the American public about the critical challenges currently facing the nuclear energy sector. From aging infrastructure and complex regulatory frameworks to workforce development and public perception, the Caucus works to ensure that these issues receive the serious attention they deserve at the highest levels of government.

The Advanced Nuclear Caucus is a proactive advocate for the research, development, and commercialization of next-generation nuclear technologies. Advanced nuclear reactors, including small modular reactors (SMRs), microreactors, and Generation III and IV designs, represent a transformative leap forward in safe, efficient, and flexible energy production. The Caucus actively supports policies and investments that accelerate the transition from promising concepts to fully operational, commercially viable technologies.

Energy security is a domestic and global need, and the Caucus is equally focused on promoting the deployment of American-built advanced nuclear reactors. The Caucus aims to help position the United States as the world's leading developer and exporter of safe, cutting-edge nuclear technology, strengthening diplomatic ties, supporting American jobs, and setting the global standard for nuclear safety and nonproliferation.

The Advanced Nuclear Caucus believes that advanced nuclear energy is an essential pillar of a cleaner, more secure, and more prosperous America.
