The U.S.-European Nuclear Energy Cooperation Act of 2025

• •The bill requires the Secretary of State to develop a comprehensive strategy to strengthen U.S.-European nuclear energy cooperation.
• •The strategy must assess how various reactor types (large light-water, small modular, and non-light-water) can reduce Russian energy influence by 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, and 2050.
• •The strategy must analyze fuel cycles to eliminate Russia's market share in uranium conversion, enrichment, and reactor fuel by 2030.
• •The bill requires an overview of Russian and Chinese influence in the European nuclear sector.
• •The strategy must include a country-by-country analysis of nuclear energy policies and existing cooperation with the U.S., Europe, China, and Russia.
• •Congress expresses that the U.S. should prioritize products and services from the U.S., followed by Europe and other allies (Canada, Japan, UK, South Korea) for countries developing nuclear power.
• •The bill supports the 'Foundational Infrastructure for Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology' program.
• •The strategy must assess challenges to rapid deployment of new reactors, including costs, supply chain constraints, and regulatory requirements.
• •The strategy must evaluate the impact of new technologies on minimizing weapons-usable nuclear material.

This bill mandates a federal government plan to shift European energy markets away from Russian suppliers, which could impact U.S. nuclear industry exports and international energy security policy through 2050.
