Governor Braun’s administration recently launched the Indiana Advanced Nuclear Ready Community program to help counties and regions prepare for small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear development. Our VP Natalie Goodwin shares more: "Through a three-tier designation framework and digital toolkit, participating communities can evaluate potential sites, infrastructure, workforce capacity, local support and regulatory readiness before developers begin considering investments. The program is designed to reduce project risk, strengthen partnerships with educational institutions and better coordinate state, utility and local siting requirements. Any Indiana county or region may apply, with technical assistance available through the Office of Energy Development. The Indiana Chamber supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy that expands reliable, affordable and cost-competitive generation while positioning the state for future investment. Clear siting standards, early community engagement and workforce preparation will be critical to ensuring advanced nuclear projects can move efficiently and deliver lasting economic benefits for Hoosiers."
