S. 5249 just hit the Senate calendar. it would fast-track licensing for domestic nuclear fuel plants. a vote is closer than it's been. tell your senators where you stand: mydemocracy.app/campaign/nuclear-fu…
mydemocracy.app
Should the U.S. fast-track licensing for domestic nuclear fuel plants?
The MORE American Fuel Act (S. 5249), a bipartisan bill introduced in August 2026, would streamline how the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses uranium enrichment facilities: construction could begin at the applicant's own risk once an application is docketed, and mandatory hearings would be dropped when no one requests one — while keeping environmental review and public hearing rights. The goal is cutting U.S. reliance on foreign enriched uranium as data-center electricity demand surges. Supporters say outdated licensing is the bottleneck to energy independence; critics warn trimming hearings erodes independent safety review. Where do you stand?
