Arizona HB2798 appropriates funds for a study on minerals and metals needed for advanced nuclear reactors.

Arizona HB2798 allocates funds from the state general fund to the University of Arizona for the Arizona geological survey. The survey will conduct a study on minerals and metals, including thorium, essential for generation III+ and generation IV small modular reactors and advanced nuclear reactors. The study will create a statewide map detailing proven and probable reserves of these minerals and metals, including quantities and grades if known. The survey must submit a report of the study's findings to specified officials and make it available on their website.
