NEI encourages Congress and DOE to continue to focus R&D and research infrastructure investments on efforts that can help sustain the existing nuclear fleet, incentivize new build, and accelerate the near-term development and deployment of new nuclear energy technologies.
In April 2019, NEI submitted testimony to the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development about the U.S. Department of Energy's 2020 budget.
