The Civil Nuclear Export Act of 2026 aims to change existing laws regarding the financing of civil nuclear energy projects by the Export-Import Bank of the United States. The main objective is to allow for more flexibility in financing nuclear energy initiatives, particularly in the context of international agreements and competition with other countries, especially China. One of the key changes in the law is the modification of the prohibition on financing nuclear facilities. Previously, the Export-Import Bank was restricted from financing civil nuclear energy projects.
