NARUC Report: Nuclear Generation in Long-Term Utility Resource Planning

This report - authored by Kathryn Kline, Sam Stephens, and Kiera Zitelman - was developed under the project: “U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-NARUC Nuclear Energy Partnership,” an initiative of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) Center for Partnerships and Innovation. It overviews IRPs and existing and advanced nuclear generation. The authors also review the inclusions of advanced nuclear in selected recently filed IRPs and offer questions and considerations for public utility regulators.

The report contains: 

• Overview of Integrated Resource Planning Processes
• Overview of Advanced Nuclear Technologies
• Advanced Nuclear in Integrated Resource Planning
