Testify in Committee on Jobs and Economy
Last Wednesday, 4/23, I testified in Jobs and Economy on a bill I authored, AB 108.
AB 108 requires the Public Service Commission (PSC) to conduct a nuclear power siting study and to submit a report to the legislature containing the results of the study no later than 12 months after the bill takes effect.
The study required by AB 108 will:
• Identify nuclear power generation opportunities on both existing nuclear and non-nuclear power generation sites
• Identify new nuclear power and fusion energy generation sites that aren’t currently dedicated to power generation
• Identify sites for the development of nuclear fission and fusion technologies
• Develop guidance for advanced nuclear fission and fusion reactors (including small modular reactors and fusion technologies)
In conjunction with this siting study, this proposal also requires the PSC to adopt an expedited nuclear facility approval process via a 150-day application period for a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) for facilities with an advanced nuclear reactor, rather than the standard 180-day application period.
