That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the bipartisan ATOMIC Act to identify AI-related nuclear risks, establish safeguards, and develop mitigation plans.

Jacobs committed to co-leading the ATOMIC Act, which would create a DOE program to evaluate advanced AI systems for nuclear risks and establish safeguards and mitigation strategies.

Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 9965 as the AI Threat Output and Monitoring Incident Containment Act, introduced in the House on July 27, 2026 by Ms. Maloy for herself and Ms. Jacobs and referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The full title directs NNSA through the Secretary of Energy to establish the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill record confirms Jacobs was an original cosponsor/co-lead on the bipartisan ATOMIC Act and that the bill would establish the named DOE/NNSA AI nuclear evaluation program. Latest official action shown is referral to committee, not enactment, so this delivers the co-lead/introduction commitment but not the underlying program as law.

The introduced bill text says the Secretary of Energy, acting through the National Laboratories, shall establish the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program to test and evaluate AI for nuclear-incident risks and develop recommendations on containment protocols, contingency planning, and mitigation strategies.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text matches the substance of the commitment: a DOE/National Laboratories program for advanced AI nuclear-risk evaluation, safeguards, containment protocols, and mitigation planning. The bill text remains introduced-in-House legislation rather than enacted law.

Jacobs fulfilled the stated commitment because the promise was to co-lead the bipartisan ATOMIC Act, not necessarily to enact the underlying DOE/NNSA program. Official bill and House materials show H.R. 9965, the AI Threat Output and Monitoring Incident Containment Act, was introduced in the 119th Congress with Celeste Maloy and Sara Jacobs, and its text directs DOE/NNSA to establish the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program for nuclear-related AI risk evaluation, safeguards, containment protocols, and mitigation planning. The bill had only been referred to committee, so enactment of the program itself is not shown, but the specific co-lead/introduction promise was delivered during her current federal term.
