HB2090 aims to integrate advanced nuclear energy into Washington's energy strategy to meet decarbonization goals.

HB2090 directs the Department of Commerce to develop a nuclear power strategic framework to assess the benefits and costs of advanced nuclear deployment in Washington. The framework must identify state objectives for new fission nuclear power generation, outline processes for siting and permitting, and assess challenges and opportunities. The bill emphasizes the need for stable, dispatchable clean power to meet the state's decarbonization goals by 2030 and 2045.
