This map highlights states where legislation related to nuclear power was introduced and includes legislation introduced in 2022 as well as legislation that was active in 2022 but introduced in a previous year. This sheet was designed to be a resource for members of the nuclear industry, state policymakers, and other interested stakeholders to better understand recent state actions related to nuclear power, including advanced nuclear technologies, at the state level. This is not a comprehensive list of all state legislation that may impact nuclear power in that state.

Each bill listed is accompanied by a brief overview as it relates to nuclear power, a nuclear adjacent policy, or the nuclear industry. The overviews listed do not, and are not intended to, provide a comprehensive overview of the accompanying legislation. The overviews may be inaccurate, especially if there has been a recent amendment to the accompanying legislation that has not yet been updated on this page.

The legislation listed is also accompanied by one word descriptions of subject matter topics that impact or may impact nuclear power in the state under the “Topics'' column. The “topics” listed here do not represent all areas of subject matter affected by the legislation but are rather limited to topics that impact or may impact nuclear power. The topics listed may not be accurate, especially if there has been a recent amendment to the legislation.

The status of the legislation as of 2022 has been provided for all of the bills listed. The “Did not pass in 2022” status includes legislation that may still be pending but is not anticipated to move forward in 2022 because the state’s legislative session calendar for 2022 has concluded. The bill statuses may not be accurate. Readers are encouraged to confirm the bill statuses.
