President Joe Biden has signed the ADVANCE Act, a measure passed by both houses of the U.S. Congress that promotes nuclear power. The act aims to achieve economy-wide, net-zero emissions by 2050 and create clean nuclear power and union jobs. Supporters believe it will boost nuclear reactor deployment and secure the country's global leadership in clean energy. However, critics argue that the act compromises the independence of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and could lead to the licensing and construction of dangerous experimental nuclear facilities. The act passed with overwhelming support in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, with only two senators voting against it. [Extracted from the article] |
