Chuck Fleischmann, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 3rd district, has been actively discussing legislative efforts and developments in nuclear defense. His recent tweets highlight a bipartisan initiative and discussions with key figures in the nuclear sector.
On March 25, 2025, Fleischmann encouraged followers to "Visit my website to learn more about our important bipartisan, bicameral bill and read my full statement about the NEDD Act." This tweet suggests an effort to inform the public about legislative measures concerning nuclear defense.

This highlights the focus on enhancing defensive capabilities against modern threats.
Continuing his engagement with nuclear industry leaders, on March 26, 2025, Fleischmann shared that "I then hosted the new Lab Director for the Savannah River National Laboratory and the president of HII Nuclear and Environmental Services Group to discuss the ongoing work to modernize our nuclear deterrent." This meeting underscores ongoing efforts in strengthening national security through modernization initiatives.
