National Strategy to Utilize Microreactors for Natural Disaster Response Efforts Act

Bill 118 hr 1009, also known as the National Strategy to Utilize Microreactors for Natural Disaster Response Efforts Act, aims to establish a national strategy for the use of microreactors in responding to natural disasters. Microreactors are small, modular nuclear reactors that can provide power in remote or disaster-stricken areas.

The bill requires the Secretary of Energy to develop a comprehensive strategy for the deployment of microreactors in disaster response efforts. This strategy will include identifying potential deployment sites, coordinating with relevant federal agencies and state and local governments, and ensuring the safety and security of the microreactors.

Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a program to provide technical assistance and support to state and local governments in deploying microreactors for disaster response. This program will also include training for emergency responders and other personnel involved in the deployment and operation of microreactors. Overall, the National Strategy to Utilize Microreactors for Natural Disaster Response Efforts Act aims to leverage the capabilities of microreactors to enhance the resilience and effectiveness of disaster response efforts across the United States.
