Commissioner circulates draft moratorium on specified nuclear power systems for review

Dec 16, 2025

A commissioner introduced a draft resolution proposing a moratorium on above- and below-ground nuclear power systems, to run concurrently with an existing moratorium and be effective through Dec. 31, 2026; the draft will be published and returned for formal consideration.

The full story

During new business, a commissioner (Speaker 5) distributed a draft resolution that would impose a moratorium on certain nuclear power systems and asked commissioners to review it. The draft defines the covered technology as “nuclear power plant that produces electricity from heat created when atoms are split within an above ground or below ground nuclear reactor,” and states the moratorium would take effect upon publication and run through Dec. 31, 2026.
