Delaware's Nuclear Energy Feasibility Task Force completed its initial report emphasizing the need for local government involvement in exploring nuclear power, recommending studies on suitable locations and regulatory processes. The report highlights substantial barriers due to the state's small size and calls for a statewide decision-making group and legislative amendments to allow nuclear power integration.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new opening to shape nuclear energy policy in Delaware through local government channels and state legislation. This creates a rare chance to engage early in permitting and energy market changes that could unlock modular reactor deployment.
