Senators <strong data-start=\"219\" data-end=\"242\">Ed Markey (D-Mass.)<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"273\">Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)<\/strong> opposed the measure. The nuclear package was combined with a bill reauthorizing the <strong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"386\">U.S. Fire Administration<\/strong> and firefighter grant programs, which will also go to the president\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"835\">The bill aims to <strong data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"541\">accelerate the approval process for new nuclear plants<\/strong> and reduce licensing fees. It also mandates the <strong data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"629\">Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)<\/strong> to examine ways to simplify environmental reviews. Supporters believe this measure will significantly boost the nuclear sector, with <strong data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"796\">small modular reactors (SMRs)<\/strong> seen as the future of nuclear power.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"1104\">However, critics \u2014 including <strong data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"918\">Edwin Lyman of the Union of Concerned Scientists<\/strong> \u2014 argue that the legislation could <strong data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"974\">undermine safety<\/strong> by reducing important regulations.
