16 Nebraska communities across the entire state are being considered to house a new state of the art nuclear power reactor.

The city of Hastings held an open house Thursday evening for area residents to come and learn more about a nuclear feasibility study currently being done by the Nebraska Public Power District.

In 2022, the Nebraska Legislature allocated $1 million to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development to fund the feasibility study.

The NPPD operates the Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville, Nebraska, which is the only nuclear facility in the state. It has provided power to the southeast Nebraska area since 1974.
