LR 469

This bill establishes an interim study by Nebraska's Natural Resources Committee to examine existing, new, and emerging nuclear energy technologies as potential solutions for meeting increasing electricity demand while achieving carbon reduction goals. The study will include informational hearings with nuclear energy industry representatives and support businesses to educate policymakers about how nuclear energy can serve as a reliable, zero-carbon baseload power source to replace retiring fossil fuel plants. The committee will produce a report with findings and recommendations, along with educational resources about nuclear energy for policymakers, businesses, and the public to better understand nuclear energy's role in a low-carbon future.
