HB 299-MICROREACTORS 10:20:29 AM CHAIR SCHRAGE announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 299, "An Act relating to microreactors." 10:21:12 AM The committee took a brief at-ease at 10:21 a.m. 10:21:36 AM REPRESENTATIVE ZULKOSKY moved to report HB 299 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. 10:21:56 AM REPRESENTATIVE TUCK objected for the purpose of discussion. He referenced that in 2010 the first House Special Committee on Energy put together an initial energy policy for the state. The policy addressed cost-effective ways to deliver energy throughout rural Alaska. He shared a personal antidote about a suggestion to "park a submarine outside" of Dillingham in the summer as an energy source for making ice for the fisheries. He continued that then there had been an effort to get nuclear [energy] added to the policy, but the microreactor technology had just been developed. He surmised that it is hard to compete with the concentration of energy that comes from nuclear supplies, and it competes very well with wind or solar. He said that an average person throughout his/her lifetime would produce a "pea-sized amount of waste" using nuclear energy. He qualified that the waste would be concentrated. Comparing the Three Mile Island nuclear accident to the accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima, he argued that the results show the systems in the U.S. are safer. He continued that unfortunately the accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima have "put a blackeye" on nuclear technologies. In order to meet the energy needs of communities in Alaska that are remote and off the main grid, he offered his support of HB 299. REPRESENTATIVE TUCK removed his objection. There being no further objection, HB 299 was reported out of the House Special Committee on Energy.
