Sens. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Mark Warner (D-Va) introduced legislation yesterday aimed at strengthening the United States’ ability to compete in existing and emerging nuclear markets and counter Russian and Chinese civil nuclear technologies.

“The Civil Nuclear Export Act gives the US the tools needed to compete, expand and succeed in new markets, and maintain US nuclear technology as the global standard,” Sen. Risch said.

The Civil Nuclear Export Act would:

· Modify existing law to allow for the financing of civil nuclear facilities, materials and technologies that support nuclear innovation;

· Enhance financing tools available through the US Export-Import Bank to help American civil nuclear companies compete against Chinese and Russian state-owned and operated entities and

· Expand international access to American-developed technologies to establish and bolster diplomatic relationships while benefiting the domestic economy.
