Description
Description | New Jersey is considering the construction and operation of small modular nuclear reactors to meet increasing electricity demand and address rising electricity prices. The project involves authorizing the state Board of Public Utilities to approve locations for small modular reactors and allow on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel. Potential sites are restricted to Lacey Township, Ocean County (former Oyster Creek nuclear plant site), and Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, where existing nuclear reactors operate. The project aims to generate up to 300 megawatts per reactor and is part of a broader legislative effort to expand nuclear power in the state. |
