US senators have reintroduced bipartisan legislation that promotes efforts to offset China and Russia’s growing influence on international nuclear energy development.
West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, chairman of the Senate energy and natural resources committee, and Idaho Republican Jim Risch, ranking member of the Senate foreign relations committee, originally introduced the International Nuclear Energy Act of 2023 in the last Congress.
They said the legislation promotes engagement with ally and partner nations to develop a civil nuclear export strategy and offset China and Russia’s dominance of the global nuclear energy market.
