Indiana Bill on Siting Next-Gen Nuclear at Existing Fossil Fuel Plants
Requires the drafting of new rules concerning the granting of certificates for the construction, purchase, or lease of small modular nuclear reactors.
LPDD Recommendation: “Congress should consider creating a federal role in designating available nuclear project sites, away from population centers and away from external threats such as severe weather and earthquakes, linked to a revitalized transmission system, and preempt state and local permitting.”
