The proposal would create a new State Department program to help other countries develop and safely use small modular reactors, which are smaller nuclear power plants that can be built in remote areas or used for industrial purposes. The program would provide technical assistance, training, and support to international partners interested in this nuclear technology, aiming to promote responsible energy development while preventing misuse. This affects countries seeking nuclear energy alternatives, U.S. companies in the nuclear industry, and global energy and security policy.
