Issues
Nuclear plant
Kehoe is the sponsor of legislation that will speed up the process of building a second nuclear power plant in Missouri. The plant could take more than a decade to build.
The bill would allow a coalition of power companies, involved in an effort to obtain an early site permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to recoup nuclear permit costs through rate hikes. Permit costs are estimated at around $40 million.
“Building a nuclear facility is a process, and it does take quite a while,” said Kehoe. “That’s why I feel it’s really important to talk about it today because we’re talking about supplying base-load power for people in 2020, maybe 2022, and our aging coal fired plants need to be addressed."
Kehoe noted that even if the permit is granted to build the plant in the next couple of years, a new plant may take 10 years or more to be constructed and brought online.[1]
