BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO/Prairie Public) – The chairman of North Dakota’s Public Service Commission has a word of advice for those who may be looking at nuclear for power production in North Dakota.
The state’s Department of Commerce is studying whether nuclear could be an option to meet the growing electricity demand, especially from projects like data centers.
PSC Chairman Randy Christmann said he supports nuclear power, but wonders where the waste would be buried. Once that big question is answered, he says time can be spent working out the finer details.
Christmann said all around the country, projects are proposed – but have not yet come to fruition, because of the lack of disposal.
Other Commissioners say public education will be necessary, to gather support for nuclear as an option.
