+<DELETED>SEC. 5. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING TAIWAN'S USE
+OF NUCLEAR ENERGY.</DELETED>
+
+<DELETED> (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following
+findings:</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (1) According to the International Atomic Energy
+Agency, nuclear energy--</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (A) is the second safest source of
+energy;</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (B) is one of only 2 clean energies that
+offer non-stop baseload power required for sustainable
+economic growth and improved human welfare;
+and</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (C) when compared with other sources of
+electricity from cradle to grave, has the lowest carbon
+footprint, uses fewer materials, and takes up less
+land.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (2) A nuclear fuel assembly lasts up to 6 years,
+making supply more resistant to maritime disruption.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (3) Taiwan has built a robust civilian nuclear
+capability over previous decades that has shown the potential
+to provide clean, reliable power to Taiwan.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (4) On May 17, 2025, the Maanshan-2, Taiwan's last
+operating nuclear power plant, was shut down after its 40-year
+operating license expired.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (5) There are compelling economic and security
+reasons to evaluate placing existing infrastructure back in
+service to ensure Taiwan has clean, reliable power that is more
+resilient in a contingency.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (6) As a result of Taiwan's substantial use of
+energy in industrial manufacturing and production, and emerging
+energy requirements for electrification, artificial
+intelligence, and data center support, there is considerable
+benefit for Taiwan to evaluate new small modular reactors
+technology to augment its energy capacity and
+resilience.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (7) As Taiwan modernizes its military, the power
+demand from command-and-control systems, intelligence
+platforms, drone operations, and joint battlespace integration
+will continue to increase.</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
+</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (1) it is in the interests of both the United
+States and Taiwan for the Government of Taiwan to consider--
+</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (A) maintaining nuclear power as an energy
+source; and</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (B) utilizing new nuclear technologies,
+including Gen III+ nuclear reactors and small modular
+reactor technology; and</DELETED>
+<DELETED> (2) the United States should prioritize assistance
+and cooperation with Taiwan on nuclear energy to improve
+technology exports and job creation in the United States and
+energy security and resilience in Taiwan.</DELETED>
+
+<DELETED>SEC. 6. INSURANCE FOR VESSELS TRANSPORTING VITAL GOODS TO
+STRATEGIC PARTNERS.</DELETED>
+
+<DELETED> Section 53902 of title 46, United States Code, is amended
+by adding at the end the following:</DELETED>
+<DELETED> ``(d) Vessels Transporting Vital Goods to Strategic
+Partners.--</DELETED>
+<DELETED> ``(1) In general.--The Secretary of Transportation
+may provide insurance and reinsurance under this chapter for
+any vessel engaged in commerce transporting critical energy,
+humanitarian, or other goods to Taiwan or another strategic
+partner of the United States that is facing coercive maritime
+threats if the Secretary determines, in consultation with the
+Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Director
+of National Intelligence, that providing such insurance or
+reinsurance is necessary to support vital strategic commerce or
+to deter coercive maritime behavior that undermines regional
+security.</DELETED>
