(KLZA)-- Area residents are invited to learn more about next generation nuclear energy during a Wednesday afternoon even in Auburn.
From 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Arbor Manor will host the event which will be sponsored in partnership with the Auburn Board of Public Works, Village of Brownville, City of Auburn and Grow Auburn, Inc.
Brownville has been recognized as one of 16 communities best suited to be the site for a next generation nuclear reactor. The designation followed a state feasibility study which has moved on to phase II to further narrow down the list of possible sites.
The $1 million study was approved by the Legislature in 2022 and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development awarded the funds to the Nebraska Public Power District, operators of Nebraska's only nuclear power generator, the Cooper Nuclear Station located near Brownville
