International Nuclear Energy Financing Act of 2025

The International Nuclear Energy Financing Act of 2025 would require the U.S. Treasury Secretary to instruct American representatives at the World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to advocate for removing restrictions on nuclear energy financing at these institutions. The bill would also direct these representatives to establish Nuclear Energy Assistance Trust Funds to provide financial and technical support for nuclear power projects in developing countries. The legislation aims to promote nuclear energy as a low-carbon power source while countering nuclear export efforts by China and Russia. If enacted, the bill would have minimal fiscal impact, estimated at less than $500,000 over five years. The measure includes a 10-year sunset provision and requires annual reporting on progress toward these goals. This bill has been approved by the House Financial Services Committee and is eligible for a floor vote, though it has not yet passed the full House.
