US House passes Rep. John Curtis’ bill to remove ‘red tape’ around nuclear power

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill Wednesday aimed at accelerating nuclear power projects, which was sponsored by Utah Rep. John Curtis. Curtis, a Republican and founder of the Conservative Climate Caucus, has long been a proponent of nuclear power and introduced the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Prize Act last year. The bill would streamline the process of approving advanced nuclear power projects and offer financial incentives to companies working on nuclear development.
