Have the Director of Naval Reactors review Navy, DHS, and MARAD construction programs
Printed page 399 12. Department of Energy and Related Commissions
“Review all new Navy, Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration construction programs. The review should be conducted by the Director of Naval Reactors (DNR) with an eye to the possible inclusion of advanced affordable nuclear reactor technology and extension of DNR authority over these agencies’ nuclear construction programs.”
What has happened
- Not started
No review by the Director of Naval Reactors of Navy, Department of Homeland Security or Maritime Administration construction programs was found, and no extension of Director of Naval Reactors authority over those agencies' nuclear construction programs. P.L. 119-60 and P.L. 119-74 fund Naval Reactors without any such direction, and EO 14269 on maritime dominance contains no nuclear-propulsion review.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence
Research notes
Covered by the negative search run once for all the NNSA asks (#1016, #1017, #1019). A Federal Register search for “naval nuclear propulsion” returned zero results when #941 was researched, and repeating it across the federal records we keep and search finds nothing new.
EO 14299 of 23 May 2025 directs advanced reactor deployment at military installations, which is the Army and DOE rather than Naval Reactors, and is not this ask.
