SCR 113

This concurrent resolution expresses the Idaho Legislature's formal support for the development of advanced nuclear energy technologies in the state, recognizing Idaho's historic role in nuclear energy research and the work of the Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Advanced Energy Consortium. The resolution declares that domestic energy production, particularly nuclear energy, is a matter of national security and calls for streamlined federal regulatory processes for licensing and deploying next-generation nuclear reactors while maintaining safety standards. While this resolution does not create new law or mandate any specific actions, it signals the Legislature's policy position that advanced nuclear energy should be a key component of Idaho's energy portfolio to achieve energy independence, support economic development in rural communities, and meet growing clean energy demands.
