The meetings are required under a provision secured by Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act. The public meeting is tentatively expected to take place between August and October.Communities experiencing the safety and economic impacts of nuclear plant decommissioning deserve a role in shaping those decommissioning plans for nuclear reactors near them, Sanders said. This input is especially critical given the potential for non-operational plants to sit for decades before removal and decontamination.Click herefor more details about the meetings. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
