Department of Energy Nuclear Transparency Act

This bill aims to enhance transparency regarding the Department of Energy's (DOE) oversight of specific nuclear facilities. It mandates that the Secretary of Energy publicly announce, within 24 hours, any alterations to directives or safety standards pertaining to covered DOE nuclear facilities by posting them on a publicly accessible website. These announcements must include a clear summary of how the relevant directive or safety standard was modified. Additionally, the bill requires the public posting of any preliminary or final documented safety analysis for these facilities within 24 hours of issuance, including the analysis itself, though commercially sensitive information may be redacted. The Secretary must also announce, within 24 hours, any agreements to authorize a covered DOE nuclear facility, providing information on any conditions applied to such agreements. Furthermore, an annual report detailing all authorization activities for covered DOE nuclear facilities from the previous calendar year must be submitted to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources by January 31 each year.
