AN ACT CONCERNING ADVANCED NUCLEAR ENERGY.

Summary

This bill directs Connecticut's Council for Advancing Nuclear Energy Development to study the workforce needs of the advanced nuclear energy industry, which includes emerging technologies like small modular reactors and alternative cooling systems. The council must identify skilled labor gaps, recommend ways to develop the workforce (such as training programs and partnerships with colleges and businesses), and submit progress reports to the legislature by February 2027 and a final report by February 2028. The bill's main purpose is to ensure Connecticut can support the growth of advanced nuclear energy by addressing potential shortages of trained workers and creating a framework for collaboration between government, education, and industry.
