PERRY: U.S. LOSING NUCLEAR RACE <\/h1>\n\n

Energy Secretary Rick Perry said the U.S. needs to support its \u201cdisregarded\u201d nuclear sector \u201cbecause we\u2019ve been losing that race\u201d to China, Russia and others in providing clean, reliable power and safeguarding national security in weapons non-proliferation talks. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone would argue right now that nuclear energy is healthy. It\u2019s not,\u201d he told the House Energy Subcommittee Oct. 12<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. <\/span>If we\u2019re going to continue to be a leader in nuclear energy in the world we have to support this industry in this country.\u201d Small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear \u201care the real wave of the future,\u201d he added to Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio). Latta touted his bipartisan Advanced Nuclear Technology Development Act unanimously approved by House lawmakers in January<\/span><\/strong><\/a> that would require the Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission to consider new frameworks for licensing advanced nuclear reactors.

\nPerry defended his department\u2019s grid resiliency and reliability proposal sent to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as a way to \u201ckickstart a national discussion\u201d because \u201cfor years, this has been kicked down the road.\u201d<\/span>
\n
\nRep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) underscored nuclear\u2019s role in grid reliability in noting that nuclear plants stayed online in and near his district during Hurricane Harvey when coal and natural gas units went offline. <\/span>
\n
\nHouse Energy Subcommittee Chairman Fred Upton signaled his intent to hold a hearing in the next couple of weeks on any lessons learned by the impact of the recent hurricanes.<\/span>

CHINA, RUSSIA COMMANDEERING U.S. NUCLEAR TECH <\/h1>\n\n

China and Russia are commandeering advanced nuclear technology invented in the U.S. but never commercialized here. The U.S. military invented floating nuclear reactors in the 1950s and we have nearly 100 still in service in Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. But while the U.S. has never made a commercial floating reactor, China and Russia are each planning their first. <\/span>
\n
\nRussia is building one in Siberia as part of a larger effort to dominate the Arctic Circle. China\u2019s effort is part of a larger land grab in the South China Sea and to further their military goals in direct opposition to U.S. interests. <\/span>
