Nebraska Public Power District selected Beatrice, Brownville, Norfolk, and Sutherland as potential sites for a small modular reactor project. These locations were chosen from an initial list of 16 candidates based on a state-funded study evaluating 32 criteria including water access, safety, and engineering feasibility. This identification marks the next phase in the utility's assessment of next-generation nuclear technology deployment.

NPPD on Wednesday announced that its siting feasibility study found that Beatrice, Brownville, Norfolk and Sutherland are best suited to host a next-generation nuclear facility

Nebraska Public Power District has identified four communities as the top choices for a potential small nuclear reactor.

The four communities were picked from an initial list of 16 as part of a study process that was directed by the Nebraska Legislature, which allocated $1 million in 2022 to pay for it.

The study looked at 32 criteria across five major categories: health and safety; ecological; socio-economic; engineering and cost-related; and water availability & water-related.
