It is the sense of Congress that— aspects of the Armed Forces have intentions to use advanced nuclear reactors at United States military bases, both domestically and internationally, because of advanced nuclear’s potential ability to generate clean electricity consistently and reliably; the Armed Forces currently rely on fossil fuel, which presents potential safety risks and national security risks associated with such reliance; advanced nuclear reactors can provide clean, uninterrupted electricity to power a wide array of domestic and international military operations; the Armed Forces have grown accustomed to an operational energy supply chain in times of peace, but the United States also needs to prepare for the logistical challenges arising from the battles of tomorrow; and energy use on the battlefield will increase significantly over the next decade, and advanced nuclear reactors will be an important solution to providing secure, dense, and firm energy supply.
