Gov. Bill Lee has proposed spending nearly $100 million on nuclear energy investments.

$50 million would go toward building a potential SMR along the Clinch River in Oak Ridge .

The Tennessee Valley Authority has already applied for a $800 million federal grant to help fund the project.

SMRs can be built faster and their smaller loads make planning for an outage easier.
