Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the prompt decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to encourage the prompt decommissioning of nuclear power stations in Massachusetts. It establishes an annual $25 million fee on the owners or affiliates of nuclear power stations, to be deposited into a Postclosure Trust Fund. The funds can only be used to pay for completed "postclosure activities," such as moving spent nuclear fuel into dry casks, site cleanup, and decommissioning. The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs must authorize any disbursements from the fund and verify that the activities have been completed. The bill also requires that any monies recovered from the Department of Energy for spent fuel management costs be placed in the Postclosure Trust Fund. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2020.
