AI Summary

  • Amends Missouri's public utilities law (Chapter 393) to create "The Nuclear Energy Standard" requiring all utilities to generate 2 percent of their electricity from small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs).

  • Defines small modular nuclear reactors as fission-based reactors approved under federal and state law that produce less than 300 megawatts of electricity.

  • Grants the Public Service Commission discretion to set compliance timelines, but requires full compliance no sooner than three years after the effective date conditions are met.

  • Makes the standard effective only after a small modular nuclear reactor production facility has been built and operated in Missouri, producing at least three operational reactors available for sale or use.

  • Authorizes the Public Service Commission to promulgate rules necessary to administer and enforce the nuclear energy standard under Missouri's Administrative Procedure Act.
