The House of Representatives voted Thursday against a bill that sought to allow utilities to build and own advanced nuclear reactors.

Senate Bill 447 was defeated on the consent calendar by voice vote. From prime sponsor Sen. Kevin Avard, a Nashua Republican, the proposal would have allowed utilities to own “advanced” nuclear reactors up to 300 megawatts in capacity, about one quarter the size of New Hampshire’s only active nuclear reactor in Seabrook.
