The bipartisan Senate-House Nuclear Energy Caucus is scheduled to meet on April 17 to hear an update from Pennsylvania's nuclear power plant operators, including FirstEnergy Solutions, Talen Energy and Exelon.
Dr. Dean Murphy of the Brattle Group, will also give the caucus a review of the economic and environmental impacts of premature nuclear plant retirements.
The Brattle Group has extensively studied these issues and previously published a report for the PA Building and Construction Trades Council, the PA Chamber of Business and Industry, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
Senators Ryan Aument (R-Lancaster) and John Yudichak (D-Luzerne) along with Representatives Becky Corbin (R-Chester) and Rob Matzie (D-Allegheny) serve as co-chairs of the Nuclear Energy Caucus.
The meeting will be held in Room 8E-A East Wing of the Capitol from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. Click Here to watch live online.
