Summary
This bill establishes a seven-member Nuclear Power Advisory Commission within the Department of Environmental Protection to study and report on the role nuclear energy should play in New Jersey's energy future. The commission is tasked with examining nuclear power's contribution to the state's energy portfolio, including its value as a zero-emission energy source for meeting climate goals, the potential impacts of nuclear plant closures on grid reliability and electricity prices, and emerging technologies like small-scale nuclear reactors. Within 18 months of the bill's enactment, the commission must submit a report with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature, after which the commission will dissolve 30 days later.
