It is the sense of Congress that— nuclear energy, through fission or fusion, represents the highest energy density of any known attainable source and yields low air emissions; nuclear energy is of national importance to scientific progress, national security, electricity generation, heat generation for industrial applications, and space exploration; and considering the inherent complexity and regulatory burden associated with nuclear energy, the Department should focus civilian nuclear research and development activities of the Department on programs that enable the private sector, National Laboratories, and institutions of higher education to carry out experiments to promote scientific progress and enhance practical knowledge of nuclear engineering.
