Bill > SF3120

This bill requires the Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce to conduct a study evaluating the potential costs, benefits, and impacts of advanced nuclear reactors, including small modular reactors and molten sodium reactors, operating in Minnesota. The study must analyze the effects on air emissions, electricity prices, grid reliability, the environment, public health, employment, and economic development, as well as identify any necessary changes to state laws and rules. The bill appropriates $100,000 in one-time funding from the general fund for the study, and the results must be reported to the legislature by January 31, 2025.
