AB 1757 would create a targeted carveout from the existing Nuclear Moratorium in California for nuclear microreactors. This bill would allow for the deployment of advanced nuclear microreactors under strict regulatory oversight overseen by the federal government.
“AB 1757 would allow California to pursue safe, clean energy. Nuclear microreactor technology is here and needs a pathway for implementation in California. Our growing energy crisis has left rural communities with sky high rates and reliability issues. AB 1757 recognizes this reality and creates a limited carveout from California Nuclear Moratorium that has stalled energy innovation for five decades.” – Assemblyman James Gallagher
