yes, we must continue to support nuclear demonstration projects as part of the all of the above strategy to meet rising global demand.
Will continue to support nuclear demonstration projects.

Evidence
Lee’s current official energy page says she sits on the Energy and Water subcommittee, focuses on clean energy and renewable energy jobs, and says no money should go to Yucca Mountain; it does not mention nuclear demonstration projects.
Assessments
The record shows some concrete support, but not enough to clearly score full delivery. Lee voted yes in the House on May 8, 2024 for S. 870, which carried the ADVANCE Act provisions; Congress.gov says those provisions were meant to accelerate deployment and licensing of advanced nuclear technologies and reactors. That is meaningful support for the broader advanced-nuclear pipeline and is at least adjacent to nuclear demonstration efforts. But the available record here does not show Lee sponsoring nuclear-demonstration legislation, leading a demonstration-project push, or repeatedly advocating specific demonstration projects, and her current official energy page does not highlight that issue. On this evidence, she appears to have offered some support, but full delivery of the narrower promise to continue supporting nuclear demonstration projects is not clearly established.
