AB 1757: Energy: nuclear facilities.
What AB 1757 does, verified April 8, 2026
This bill would exempt nuclear microreactors from certain provisions related to nuclear powerplants. The existing law prohibits the certification of nuclear fission thermal powerplants unless specific conditions are met regarding nuclear waste disposal and construction technology. This bill would allow nuclear microreactors to be certified without these conditions, making them a permitted land use in California.
