Summary

The following analysis is based on draft bill text that was made available by the House of Representatives and may differ from the bill text as introduced.

American Enrichment Deployment Act

This bill allows for the construction of a uranium enrichment facility before a license is issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Under current law, a license is required from the NRC prior to the construction of a uranium enrichment facility. Under the bill, uranium enrichment facilities are allowed to be constructed under the same terms and conditions applicable to other fuel cycle facilities (i.e., uranium conversion and fuel fabrication facilities). Such facilities must be licensed by the NRC to process and handle special nuclear material and source material.

NRC must issue or revise regulations to carry out this bill not later than 180 days after enactment.
