Civil Nuclear Export Act of 2026

This bill gives the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance American exports, new powers to support the sale of nuclear energy technology to other countries. It allows the bank to finance certain types of nuclear reactors and fuel reprocessing facilities, as long as those sales are already allowed by law. The bill also adds nuclear energy to a program designed to help the United States compete with China in key technology areas like artificial intelligence and biotechnology. Finally, it changes some of the bank's financial rules, including raising the limit on how many loans can go unpaid from 2% to 4% and letting certain nuclear-related financing be excluded from some of the bank's usual financial limits.
