What this bill does
# H.R. 9200 — Atomic Supply Chain Solutions Act
This bill would direct the Secretary of Energy to conduct and submit, within 270 days of enactment, a comprehensive evaluation of the U.S. nuclear supply chain. The evaluation would examine past efforts to meet nuclear demand, including lessons from the Vogtle 3 and 4 reactor construction in Georgia; assess whether current ASME "N-stamp" certification requirements are necessary for certain nuclear components; compare regulatory costs for components with different certification pathways; and consider whether the N-stamp's three-year renewal period should be extended. It may also address how emerging technologies like 3D printing, AI, and robotics could benefit the supply chain, and would review nuclear cooperation with Canada and the cost competitiveness of U.S.-made components versus foreign alternatives. The bill also states a general U.S. policy goal of building a domestic market for high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU).
The bill primarily affects the Department of Energy, which would conduct the study, and the nuclear manufacturing industry, which could see future regulatory changes based on the findings. It does not itself change any regulations but sets up analysis that could inform future policy.
Introduced July 30, 2024, in the 118th Congress by Rep. Byron Donalds and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, the bill did not receive a vote and did not advance before the end of that Congress. It would need to be reintroduced in a new Congress to be considered further.
