International Nuclear Energy Financing Act of 2025

S. 1739 would instruct the U.S. Treasury Secretary to advocate for removing restrictions at international financial institutions like the World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development that currently prohibit financing nuclear energy projects. The bill would also direct these institutions to establish Nuclear Energy Assistance Trust Funds to provide financial and technical support for nuclear energy generation in developing countries. If enacted, the bill aims to promote U.S. nuclear technology exports and counter nuclear reactor exports from China and Russia, while supporting global energy security and climate goals. The provisions would expire 10 years after enactment, and an advisory council would be required to report annually on progress in promoting nuclear energy assistance through these multilateral development banks.
