7. The U.S. Department of Energy has recently proposed a regulation that governs the
export of peaceful nuclear technology, including for the production of electricity, to the
multi-billion dollar global market. This proposed change could:
Adversely impact competitiveness of U.S. nuclear suppliers,
Disrupt existing commercial arrangements between U.S. manufacturers and their overseas
customers,
Create additional administrative burdens
Significantly slow down the number of jobs created and brought in to U.S.
