Federal Policy
Tracks US Congress bills & resolutions, presidential executive orders, and federal agency rulemakings (NRC / DOE / FERC) relevant to nuclear energy policy. Coverage spans the 2011–2026 112th–119th Congresses (earliest tracked bill 2011-01-05, most recent 2026-10-22). Bills are tagged by topic and categorized (including a dedicated Nuclear Weapons Policy category for nonproliferation/arms-control legislation, kept separate from nuclear-energy bills so committee and category views aren't skewed by it). Legislator, committee, and roll-call vote data covers the current (119th) Congress only.
