Last night, the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) presented Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) with the 2025 Distinguished Leadership Award. Congressman Latta currently serves as the chairman of the Energy Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.  

USNIC is the leading U.S. business advocate for advanced nuclear energy and promotion of the American supply chain globally. 

“I’m honored to receive the USNIC Distinguished Leadership Award. Ohio plays a vital role in our nation’s energy landscape, from energy production and research to manufacturing and national security. As Chairman of the Energy Subcommittee on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, I recognize the importance of increasing nuclear energy production as a part of an all-of-the-above strategy to fully unleash American energy. I remain committed to advancing America’s nuclear energy agenda and supporting the growth of our nation’s nuclear industry,” Latta said.   

“The U.S. Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) is proud to present Congressman Bob Latta with the 2025 Distinguished Leadership Award. His strong support for the U.S. civil nuclear industry throughout his legislative career, including his sponsorship of The Nuclear REFUEL Act of 2025, has proven critical for new American nuclear technology to be developed, deployed, and be able to compete globally,” said Todd Abrajano, President and Chief Executive Officer of USNIC.
