States and Territories are at a variety of stages of development in their nuclear policy, with some states having robust frameworks and an active fleet of reactors, while other states may have no current generation fleet or even have prohibitions on exploring nuclear technology.
The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy, is engaged in a project to advance nuclear energy policy with states who applied and were selected for the project. Throughout 2025, NGA will host a series of two-day nuclear convenings in each state comprised of state teams, NGA staff, and selected invited specialists.
Each meeting will adjourn with a state strategic plan to pursue their Governor designated objectives. Following these in-state retreats and strategic plans, NGA will continue to provide support to each state team for the remainder of the year, including webinars, research, and/or additional state visits.
Additional resources and information, along with state updates will be published to this page.
