H.R. 8673 is a plan to start a new group called the Foundation for Standards and Metrology to help make sure things are measured and done correctly, like how long or heavy something is, and to help bring new inventions and technologies to life. This group will work with schools and companies, but it needs to be careful with money and not let people who give money to it have too much influence.

In this bill, the Secretary of Energy would create a program to help more kids learn about nuclear energy by working with schools near nuclear power plants and giving students chances to meet people who work in the nuclear industry.
