Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

For example, the bill requires
- the President, in coordination with international partners, to hold a biennial conference on civil nuclear safety, security, safeguards, and sustainability;
- the Department of State to meet with ally or partner nations for the purpose of collaborating on research, development, licensing, and deployment of advanced nuclear reactor technologies for civil nuclear energy;
- the State Department to provide financial assistance to embarking civil nuclear nations for developing civil nuclear energy programs; and
- the establishment of a working group to develop a 10-year civil nuclear trade strategy with biennial targets for the export of civil nuclear technologies.
Furthermore, the President must launch an international initiative to modernize outreach to embarking civil nuclear nations to improve the importation and exportation of civil nuclear technology and materials.
