Commissioners discuss state outreach about small modular nuclear reactors; remote participant clarifies senator's position
Summary
Commissioners and participants discussed early state outreach about small modular reactor modules; a remote participant clarified that Senator Curtis is a cosigner of the SAVE Act and supports it but will not back eliminating the filibuster to pass it, which some constituents misunderstood.
A commissioner raised a question about reports the state is seeking to site small modular nuclear reactor modules in counties, prompting a brief discussion and clarification from a remote participant. The commissioner said they had seen outreach and that the governor was organizing timeframes to present the concept; a remote participant added context about testing occurring in Emery County.
Remote participant Glenn responded to constituent confusion about Senator Curtis's stance on the SAVE Act, saying, "he is actually a cosigner on that same act with Lee and in favor of it," but that the senator "said he will not blow up the filibuster in order to get it through." The clarification was offered to correct perceived misstatements circulating among residents and to explain the senator's position regarding legislative tactics.
