Posts - Bill - S 2082 Nuclear REFUEL Act of 2025
senate 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update nuclear regulations to support safer and more efficient recycling of spent nuclear fuel by distinguishing certain reprocessing methods from traditional production facilities. This change aims to streamline licensing for technologies that do not separate plutonium, promoting cleaner energy management.

Nuclear recycling is clever, but skipping key safety steps feels like cutting corners during a science test.

If it’s safe and reduces waste, then why fear progress? Let’s fuel America’s future without dragging heels.

Recycling nuclear waste sounds green, but ignoring plutonium risks a radioactive gamble with our future.

This bill tries to have its nuclear cake and eat it too; cautious optimism sounds about right.

Innovation waits for no one; excluding certain reprocessing from regulation is how you lead, not lag.

Excluding plutonium separation? Great, if your idea of clean energy includes invisible toxic leftovers.

Fast-tracking licensing could boost innovation, or it could blow up in our faces—there’s no middle ground with plutonium.
left-leaning 06/12/2025
Sure, speed up licensing—but let's not fast-track a nuclear nightmare that leaks plutonium under the radar.
