Nuclear Reactors 104 - Washington State Bill 5991 to Consider New Reactors for State 3

          I have been blogging lately about Washington State's SSB 5591. This is a bill that calls for Washington Legislature to consider the possibility of building additional nuclear reactors to supply energy for Washington State residents. Today I am going to discuss the senate debate over the bill that took place on February 12 of this year.

Nuclear Reactors 103 - Washington State Bill 5991 to Consider New Reactors for State 2

          Yesterday I started blogging about SSB 5991, a new bill in the Washington State Legislature that is calling for consideration of nuclear power for future energy generation in the state. I called into question the opening assumptions of the bill that nuclear power is safe, reliable, cost-effective and carbon free. Today I am going to dig deeper into the text of the bill.
