AI Generated Summary
This bill, SF No 468, proposes a legislative change in Minnesota to allow the construction of new nuclear power plants if they have a maximum generation capacity of 300 megawatts or less. Under the current law, new construction of nuclear power plants is generally prohibited. Additionally, when requesting to extend the license for any existing nuclear facilities that need additional storage for spent nuclear fuel, the proposal must also consider the environmental impacts of prolonging the facility's operation. This bill amends previous regulations to facilitate the building of small modular reactors within the specified power limit.
