      California bill looks to craft advanced nuclear exception to moratorium

      Proposed legislation in California could exempt certain reactor designs from the state’s long-standing moratorium on new nuclear power plants, effectively ending the moratorium.

      California Assembly Member Lisa Calderon (D., 56th Dist.) filed A.B. 2647 with the California State Assembly last week.

      If approved, the bill could pave the way to increasing the number of nuclear reactors in the state in the future. Currently, Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant houses the only operational commercial nuclear reactors in California.
