Summary/Abstract: The U.S. nuclear industry for years has been stalled by competition from cheaper energy sources, the high costs of new investments, and other factors. At the same time, China and Russia have been actively supporting the foreign expansion of their nuclear companies. The U.S. is concerned with the political and economic leverage related to such investments. American leaders plan to restore the position of the U.S. nuclear industry and counter the influence of Russia and China, deemed rivals. These issues are delineated in the new nuclear strategy released in April 2020.
