US is not "set to launch". The US launched the program [1].
One can say the US was "set to launch" this program back in 2021 when the Congress passed the Infrastructure Bill which appropriated the $6 Billion for the task of helping the struggling nuclear power plants [2]. Now the Bill is a law, the money was handed over to the Department of Energy, and the DoE went over the technical details (like the Request for Information), and the program was fully launched.
