Public Service Commission Chair Summer Strand says legislation that recently cleared the U.S. Senate will accelerate development of new nuclear technologies such as small modular reactors.
Speaking last week during a WisPolitics luncheon in Madison, Strand said “there is a lot of really exciting innovation, research and development happening” within the nuclear technology space.
“If I had it my way, it would be happening faster and be more readily available,” she said Thursday, noting European countries are already making progress on small modular reactors.
