This bipartisan nuclear energy package, including my Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act, will help streamline future nuclear projects in the U.S. so that we may fully embrace the reliability of clean, 24/7 nuclear energy for generations to come.

I look forward to seeing its positive impact on America's energy sector."
