2.     Identify deterrents to nuclear energy expansion and any proven and effective remedies (consider the LWVNM Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Safety Position adopted in 2021).

3.     Consider the current U.S. energy situation and domestic nuclear plant status including closures with related impacts on states.

4.     Evaluate newer advanced reactor concepts with enhanced safety features and efficiency with related implementation status.
