A delegation of students from the School of Nuclear Engineering traveled to the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis in early 2022 to support small modular reactors (SMR). Senate Bill 271 creates a framework for Indiana to pursue nuclear energy alternatives in the form of SMRs. The bill paves the way for the Indiana Regulatory Commission to create rules for considering SMR proposals.
