It calls for the U.S. Department of Energy to build and demonstrate small modular reactors by fiscal year 2034 to meet the growing energy demand. One proposed reactor may be established at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant site in Jackson County, Alabama, which has been unused since the 1980s after an abandoned construction project. This initiative could revitalize the site using American-made technology and address energy needs.</p><div style="position:relative;width:100%; height:0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7AmcKCyedjg?rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; height:100%;top:0; left:0; position:absolute"></iframe></div><p>A new bill moving through congress could lead to a new future for the Bellefonte nuclear plant site in Jackson County. </p><p>News 19 is North Alabama’s News Leader!
