Nevada: SMR policy and licensing
Selected federal measures and selected state measures whose official text was opened. This is not a complete list of laws, rules or programmes for any jurisdiction. A state without a page here is not a finding that it has no policy, and these pages do not rate or prefer any state. Nothing here implies that a project is eligible for, or approved under, any measure.
Federal measures apply in Nevada as everywhere in the United States and are listed once on the federal page. They are not counted here.
Laws, rules and executive directives
- Nevada prohibition on storing high-level radioactive waste · In effect
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 459.910 · Nevada Legislature · affects: Siting
Nevada law makes it unlawful to store high-level radioactive waste in the state. The 1989 source note prints no day. The section points to a federal definition that was not opened here, and it does not license a reactor.
Not approved or pending: This is a storage prohibition. It is not a power-reactor construction permit and it does not approve a project. The federal definition it incorporates was not opened. The utility-facility permit statute in NRS chapter 704 was opened separately and is not this record. No project is linked.
