This resolution declares Utah's support for nuclear energy and expresses the Legislature and governor's intent to pursue "Agreement State" status from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an arrangement that would allow the state to take on regulatory oversight of additional parts of the nuclear fuel cycle currently overseen by the federal government. It calls for the governor and Department of Environmental Quality to coordinate with the NRC to begin that application process for eligible activities and asks the NRC to clarify which portions of the fuel cycle states are legally allowed to regulate. As a resolution, it does not change any law or appropriate funding, but formally states Utah's policy direction and directs that copies be sent to the NRC chairman, the governor, and Utah's congressional delegation.
