The two countries are now eligible to receive U.S. exports of certain Part 810-controlled nuclear technology and assistance. 

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright has issued a determination generally authorizing the destinations of the Philippines and Singapore for exports of certain controlled nuclear technology and assistance under the Department of Energy’s (DOE) regulation on Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities under 10 CFR Part 810 (Part 810).  DOE’s Part 810 regulations were updated Nov. 24, 2025, to effectuate the changes.

With the addition of the Philippines and Singapore, the total number of destinations deemed eligible is 50. 

Part 810 implements section 57 b.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2077).  Under it, Secretary Wright has authorized certain activities that are not harmful, adverse, or hostile to the interest of the United States—including assistance or transfers of technology—to specific “generally authorized destinations” listed in Appendix A to Part 810.  

The Department continues to make progress implementing President Trump’s Executive Order 14299, “Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security,” and specifically section 8 on Promoting American Nuclear Exports. This expansion of Generally Authorized destinations complements other DOE actions, including supporting the negotiation of multiple new 123 Agreements and the enhanced automation of the Part 810 web-based licensing system known as e810. These ongoing efforts demonstrate DOE’s ongoing enhancement of its nuclear technology export authorization process. 

DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration administers Part 810.
