The Energy Act of 2020 also included several other provisions to support the development and commercialization of advanced reactors. The act requires DOE to provide high-assay lowenriched uranium (HALEU)—uranium enriched in the fissile isotope U-235 between 5% and 20%—that would be required by many advanced reactor designs, including the two ARDP demonstrations. The act authorizes appropriations for major DOE nuclear energy programs, including advanced reactor research; demonstration of nuclear energy systems integrated with non-electricity applications, such as hydrogen production and industrial heat; and nuclear fuel cycle R&D.
