Lets the Department of Energy better protect nuclear sites from drones.
The Department of Energy would get new powers to protect nuclear sites from drones. This bill would let the department use and buy certain drones from specific foreign entities, overriding other existing laws. It would also expand protection for facilities that handle nuclear materials or make parts for nuclear weapons.
Today, the Department of Energy faces prohibitions on buying, operating, and funding certain drones from specific foreign entities. The department's authority to protect nuclear facilities from drones is also narrower. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Energy would be exempted from these drone prohibitions. The department's power to protect nuclear facilities and assets from drones would also expand to cover more types of sites, including those handling nuclear materials or making nuclear weapon components.
