"SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly finds
and declares that:
(a) Nuclear energy is a critical component of Colorado's clean energy
strategy and economic development, offering consistent, reliable and noncarbon
power generation to support grid stability and emissions reduction goals;
(b) A highly skilled workforce is essential for the deployment and
operation of advanced nuclear technologies, small modular reactors, and
commercial fusion systems. Workforce readiness in engineering, radiation
safety, fusion energy operations, and reactor technology is necessary to support
Colorado's energy transition.
(c) The Colorado nuclear workforce development and education council
will harness private investment, federal funding, and strategic partnerships to
make the state a leader in nuclear energy workforce development. Through
grants to eligible institutions of higher education and related technical
assistance, the council will expand educational pathways to careers in the
nuclear energy sector.
(d) The Colorado school of mines' expertise in energy resource
management, workforce development, and federal grant facilitation uniquely
positions it to house the Colorado nuclear workforce development and
education council; and
(e) By developing and expanding existing state higher education
infrastructure, including degree and certificate programs and technical training,
and by leveraging public and private sector collaboration, the council will help
Colorado expand workforce readiness in the nuclear energy sector without new
state appropriations, supporting long-term economic growth and clean energy
innovation.
