(Wisconsin Radio Network) A bipartisan plan to bring new nuclear power stations to Wisconsin was the subject of a state Senate committee hearing on Wednesday.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, New Berlin Republican Senator Julian Bradley says bringing more nuclear power to Wisconsin will better position the state for future growth.

Two bills direct state agencies to revise and review policies on nuclear power, and to host a nuclear power summit once the new UW-Madison engineering building is completed.

Wisconsin’s only current nuclear facility is the Point Beach Power plant in Manitowoc County.
