advanced nuclear facility during the tax year. The credit
percentage for each taxpayer that has been allocated all
or part of the amount of the facility limitation is determined
by dividing the facility limitation that is allocated to the
taxpayer by the nameplate capacity of the facility.
Credit for the Production of Electricity
From Advanced Nuclear Power
Facilities, Section 45J
Definitions—Section 45J
Unutilized NMCL is the excess (if any) of 6,000
megawatts, over the aggregate amount of NMCL
allocated by the Secretary before January 1, 2021,
reduced by any amount of such limitation which was
allocated to a facility that was not placed in service before
this date.
Advanced nuclear power facility is (a) any nuclear
facility, the reactor design for which is approved by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) after December
31, 1993 (and such design or a substantially similar
design of comparable capacity was not approved on or
before that date); (b) that is owned by the taxpayer; and
(c) uses nuclear energy to produce electricity.
Credit Amount
Generally, the credit allowed for a tax year with respect to
qualifying electricity is the lesser of:
Credit amount is the lesser of the tentative credit for the
facility for the tax year multiplied by the taxpayer's credit
percentage or $125,000,000 per 1,000 megawatts of the
facility limitation that is allocated to the taxpayer.
Eligible project partner is any person who (a) is
responsible for, or participates in, the design or
construction of the advanced nuclear power facility to
which the credit relates; (b) participates in the provision of
the nuclear steam supply system to such facility; (c)
participates in the provision of nuclear fuel to such facility;
(d) is a financial institution providing financing for the
construction or operation of such facility; or (e) has an
ownership in such facility.
Facility limitation or portion of the facility limitation
means the amount of the unutilized national megawatt
capacity limitation (NMCL) allocated to a qualified facility
by the IRS. If only one taxpayer owns a direct interest in a
qualified facility, the entire facility limitation is allocated to
such taxpayer. If more than one taxpayer owns a direct
interest in a qualified facility, each taxpayer’s undivided
ownership share in the qualified facility will be treated as a
separate qualified facility owned by such taxpayer. See
Notice 2023-24 for procedures for applying for unutilized
NMCL.
National megawatt capacity limitation (NMCL) is the
total amount of megawatts allocated by the Secretary of
the Treasury to advanced nuclear power facilities and may
not exceed 6,000 megawatts.
Qualifying electricity is each kilowatt hour of electricity
that a taxpayer (a) produces at an advanced nuclear
power facility during the 8-year period beginning on the
date the facility is placed in service; and (b) sells to an
unrelated person, as defined under section 45(e)(4),
during the tax year. Electricity will be treated as sold to an
unrelated person if the ultimate purchaser of the electricity
is not related to the person that produces the electricity.
Qualified public entity is (a) a federal, state, or local
government entity, or any political subdivision, agency, or
instrumentality thereof; (b) a mutual or cooperative electric
company described in section 501(c)(12) or 1381(a)(2); or
(c) a not-for-profit electric utility which had or has received
a loan or loan guarantee under the Rural Electrification Act
of 1936.
The tentative credit (1.8 cents multiplied by the kilowatt

hours of qualifying electricity) for the facility for the tax
year multiplied by the taxpayer’s credit percentage, or
$125,000,000 per 1,000 megawatts of the facility
•
limitation that is allocated to the taxpayer. See Allocation
Method, later.
Credit Determination for Partnerships and S
Corporations
If a facility is owned by a partnership or an S corporation,
the partnership or the S corporation, and not the partners
or shareholders, is treated as the taxpayer that owns the
facility. The credit must be allocated to the partners or
shareholders in accordance with Regulations section
1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) or 1.1366-1(a)(2)(v), respectively. If the
facility is owned through an organization that has made a
valid election under section 761(a), each member’s
undivided ownership share in the facility will be treated as
a separate facility owned by such member.
Sale of Electricity to Unrelated Person
The credit is allowed only for qualifying electricity that the
taxpayer produces and sells to an unrelated person, as
defined in section 45(e)(4). For purposes of section 45J,
electricity will be treated as sold to an unrelated person if
the ultimate purchaser of the electricity is not related to the
person that produces the electricity. The requirement of a
sale to an unrelated person will be treated as satisfied if
the producer sells the electricity to a related person for
resale by the related person to a person that is not related
to the producer.
Grants, Tax-Exempt Bond Proceeds, Subsidized
Energy Financing, and Other Credits
The amount of the section 45J credit with respect to any
facility for any tax year is not reduced by the amount of
grants, tax-exempt bond proceeds, subsidized energy
financing, or other credits (described in section 45(b)(3))
used for, or in connection with, the facility.
Allocation of the Unutilized National Megawatt
Capacity Limitation (NMCL)
The IRS will allocate the unutilized NMCL only to
advanced nuclear power facilities for which the
Department of Energy (DOE) provides certification that
Tentative credit means 1.8 cents multiplied by the
kilowatt hours of qualifying electricity produced at an

the facility qualifies as an advanced nuclear facility. Each
nuclear power reactor located on a multi-reactor site is a
separate facility. In the case of an owner of a facility that
acquired the facility after the IRS provided a previous
owner of the facility a letter stating that the DOE had
certified that facility as an “advanced nuclear facility”
under Notice 2013-68, the owner of the facility may apply
for an allocation of the unutilized NMCL.
required information, the declaration applicable to the
application, required supplemental statements, and where
to submit. The IRS will review the application, let you know
if it needs more information, and then notify you of the
allocation.
Transfer of Credit by Qualified Public Entities
A qualified public entity may elect to transfer some or all of
its section 45J credit to an eligible project partner. The
qualified public entity must make a separate election each
year for each eligible project partner to whom the qualified
public entity will transfer all or a portion of the section 45J
credit. The election is irrevocable. The eligible project
partner claims the section 45J credit by filing the election
statement, provided by the qualified public entity, with its
tax return. See Notice 2023-24 for the election
Allocation Method
The unutilized NMCL will be allocated as follows.
1. For facilities that apply for allocations and meet the
requirements for allocation, the facilities will be allocated
amounts of the unutilized NMCL equal to their nameplate
capacities in the order in which such facilities are placed
in service, provided that the application deadline specified
in Notice 2023-24 is met. The amount of the unutilized
NMCL allocated to a qualified facility is referred to as the
“facility limitation.”
2. The IRS will continue to allocate the unutilized
NMCL equal to the nameplate capacities of qualified
facilities until all the unutilized NMCL is allocated. The
final recipient(s) of the remaining NMCL may receive only
a portion of the unutilized NMCL for which they applied
even if they otherwise meet the requirements to receive
full allocations.
3. If only one taxpayer owns a direct interest in a
qualified facility, the entire facility limitation is allocated to
that taxpayer. If more than one taxpayer owns a direct
interest in a qualified facility, each taxpayer’s undivided
ownership share in the qualified facility will be treated as a
separate qualified facility owned by that taxpayer. In such
cases, a taxpayer’s application must identify the portion of
the total nameplate capacity of the qualified facility that is
equal to its undivided ownership share in the qualified
facility.
4. Except as provided under sections 3.03 (credit
determination for partnerships and S corporations) and
5.03(5) (allocation of the NMCL) of Notice 2023-24, if a
qualified facility is owned by a partnership or an S
corporation, then the partnership or the S corporation, and
not the partners or shareholders, will be treated as the
procedures, the information that must be included, and
the necessary statements.
Application to Partnerships
In the case of a credit that is determined at the partnership
level, a qualified public entity will be treated as the
taxpayer with respect to the entity’s distributive share of
the credit and the term “eligible project partner” will
include any partner of the partnership.
Credit for Zero-Emission Nuclear
Power Production, Section 45U
Definitions—Section 45U
Electricity is the energy produced by a qualified nuclear
power facility from the conversion of nuclear fuel into
electric power.
Exclusions means any amount received by you with
respect to the qualified nuclear power facility from a
zero-emission credit program if the full amount of the
section 45U credit is used to reduce payments from such
zero-emission credit program.
Gross receipts are all amounts received from the
production of electricity at the qualified nuclear power
facility, including any amount received from electricity
services or products provided in conjunction with
electricity produced at the qualified nuclear power facility,
and sold to an unrelated person during the tax year. This
amount also includes any amount received by you with
respect to the qualified nuclear power facility from a
zero-emission credit program other than exclusions.
Qualified nuclear power facility is any nuclear facility
that is owned by the taxpayer and that uses nuclear
energy to produce electricity, that is not an advanced
nuclear power facility as defined in section 45J, and that is
placed in service before August 16, 2022.
5. If the qualified facility is owned through an
organization that has made a valid section 761(a) election,
each member’s undivided ownership share in the qualified
facility will be treated as a separate qualified facility owned
by such member. In such cases, a member's application
for an allocation must identify the portion of the total
nameplate capacity of the qualified facility that is equal to
its undivided ownership share in the qualified facility. See
earlier.
Reduction amount is the lesser of the product of 0.3

produced by the taxpayer at the qualified nuclear power
facility and sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated person, or
the amount equal to 16% of the excess of gross receipts

Elections in the Instructions for Form 3800.
Zero-emission credit (ZEC) program means any
payments with respect to a qualified nuclear power facility
as a result of any federal, state, or local government
program for, in whole or in part, the zero-emission,
zero-carbon, or air quality attributes of any portion of the
electricity produced by the facility.
Special Rule
Prevailing wage requirements. Increased credit
amounts are available for taxpayers satisfying certain
prevailing wage requirements. To meet the prevailing
wage requirements with respect to any qualified nuclear
power facility, a taxpayer must ensure that any laborers
and mechanics employed by the taxpayer or any
contractor or subcontractor in the alteration or repair of
such facility are paid wages at rates not less than the
prevailing rates for alteration or repair of a similar
character in the locality in which such facility is located as
most recently determined by the Secretary of Labor, in
accordance with title 40, chapter 31, subchapter IV, of the
United States Code. The correction and penalty
mechanisms set forth in section 45(b)(7)(B) apply with
respect to a taxpayer's failure to satisfy the prevailing
wage requirements. See Notice 2022-61, available at
Credit Amount
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2023, the
credit under section 45U is calculated by multiplying the
kilowatt hours of qualifying electricity produced by the
taxpayer at a qualified nuclear power facility and sold to an
unrelated person during the tax year by 0.3 cents
(adjusted for inflation), and then subtracting the “reduction
amount” for such tax year.
Applicable entities. For tax years beginning after 2023,
applicable entities (as defined under section 6417(d)(1)
(A)) that generally don't benefit from income tax credits
can elect to treat the zero-emission nuclear power
production credit for electricity produced and sold after
December 31, 2023, as a payment of income tax.
Resulting overpayments may result in refunds.
