Support and advance legislation to strengthen America's competitiveness in global nuclear energy markets by enhancing the Export-Import Bank's ability to support U.S. nuclear energy exports and addressing export barriers faced by U.S. nuclear companies.
Occurrences
Evidence
Last Action Date Listed: March 26, 2026. Action: Mr. McCormick (for himself and Mr. Kim) introduced the bill; it was read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The bill amends the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 to support U.S. nuclear energy exports.
McCormick and Kim said their bipartisan bill would strengthen America's competitiveness in the global nuclear energy market as part of EXIM reauthorization and enhance EXIM's ability to support U.S. nuclear energy exports.
Assessments
McCormick materially attempted the promise in his current Senate term by introducing S. 4228, the ACE Nuclear Energy Act of 2026, with Sen. Kim to enhance EXIM support for U.S. nuclear exports and address related export barriers. However, the bill appears only to have been introduced and referred to the Senate Banking Committee as of the available record, with no passage, enactment, or implemented policy outcome. Because the promised outcome was to support and advance legislation, his introduction and advocacy are serious effort, but the policy has not been delivered.
