Directs BPU to study feasibility of developing advanced reactors Statewide.
This bill directs New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to study the feasibility of developing advanced nuclear reactors statewide. The BPU, working with the Environmental Protection Department and Economic Development Authority, must complete an 18-month study covering suitable locations (like retired power sites), regulatory requirements, economic viability, safety, environmental impacts, and public input through three stakeholder sessions. The study will assess how to integrate reactors with existing infrastructure and recommend a potential statewide deployment program. The BPU must submit a final report to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months, including findings published online.
