New Nuclear Energy Options in Connecticut

planned

Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection held its first public information session exploring new nuclear energy options following a new law lifting a moratorium on new nuclear energy sites. The law allows communities to host advanced nuclear reactors if approved by local legislative bodies or residents. The department plans to hold additional workshops covering safety, environmental impacts, new reactor designs, and nuclear fusion, and will offer up to $5 million in grants or loans for site readiness funding.
