The bill expresses the Washington state legislature's support for the establishment of nuclear lifecycle innovation campuses as proposed by the United States Department of Energy. These campuses aim to modernize the nuclear fuel cycle and enhance the nation's leadership in advanced nuclear energy by supporting various activities such as fuel fabrication, enrichment, and waste disposition. The initiative is expected to foster regional economic growth, attract private investment, and promote workforce development while contributing to energy security and reducing carbon emissions.

The bill requests that the Governor of Washington express the state's interest in hosting one or more of these innovation campuses and communicate this interest to federal officials. It also calls for the appropriate state agency to prepare a response to the Department of Energy's request, outlining Washington's capabilities and priorities, including strategies for workforce development and infrastructure investment. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration among state legislators, local governments, and industry partners to create a coordinated vision that maximizes the benefits of participating in this federal-state nuclear innovation initiative.
