The Biden administration has proposed a fiscal 2022 budget for the Department of Energy that would secure record funding for nuclear energy and advanced nuclear to achieve climate goals.
The budget request, sent to Congress on 28 May, includes a record $1.85bn for the office of nuclear energy, an increase of over 23% from FY21 enacted.
Over $1bn is dedicated to nuclear energy research, development, and demonstration programmes, including $245m to support the demonstration of two advanced reactor technologies within the next six years.
