Urging the Governor and relevant state agencies to recognize the value of spent nuclear fuel and take state actions toward its development

Summary

The resolution asks the governor and relevant state agencies to recognize the value of spent nuclear fuel stored at Alabama’s two nuclear plants and to submit a response to the U.S. Department of Energy’s request for interest in hosting a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus. It encourages the state to explore recycling the fuel into liquid fuel for advanced reactors and to involve universities, industry, and workforce programs.
