Bill Summary

For legislation relative to responsible emergency planning. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to designate certain areas of the Commonwealth as "nuclear power plant areas" if they are within a 10-mile radius of an active or inactive nuclear power plant, unless all spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste at the facility is stored in dry cask storage systems licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Additionally, the bill allows for assessments to be made against active nuclear facilities or inactive facilities that harbor spent nuclear fuel, high-level radioactive waste, or other nuclear material in a spent fuel pool or other storage structure, but not against inactive facilities that store all such materials in dry cask storage systems.
