; Whereas nuclear medicine, including the use of medical radioactive isotopes, can be used to diagnose and treat different diseases with pinpoint precision, which will ultimately save American lives; Whereas radioactivity used for medical diagnostics and treatments is elementally the same as that used for nuclear power; Whereas medical isotopes are made in nuclear reactors; Whereas, with advances in nuclear science and technology, and new approaches to the medical application of radioisotope technology, outcomes for cancer patients have improved tremendously; Whereas nuclear power plants produce a vital resource in the global fight against COVID–19: Cobalt–60, which has sterilized billions of pieces of medical equipment in hospitals on the front lines of the pandemic; Whereas nuclear radiation is used to treat food and kill bacteria, insects, and parasites that cause illness; Whereas the Armed Forces have intentions to utilize advanced nuclear reactors at United States military bases, both domestically and internationally, because of advanced nuclear reactor’s ability to generate clean electricity consistently and reliably in locations that experience severe weather patterns; Whereas the Armed Forces are currently using diesel for generators in these remote locations to provide electricity, such as in Alaska, which require refueling approximately every 72 hours; Whereas, since 1954, the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program has maintained and operated more than 100 naval nuclear reactors, serviced and supplied by thousands of American workers, to power United States aircraft carriers, submarines, and other military vessels; Whereas advanced nuclear propulsion provides an alternative clean energy source to power commercial ships to cut emissions and remove the costly refueling infrastructure needs for liquid-based energy carriers; Whereas floating nuclear barges are being designed and developed to supply energy to remote locations and areas impacted by a natural disaster
