Bill > S2206

This bill amends existing laws to update the definition of "nuclear power plant areas" and the assessment of costs related to nuclear power facilities. Specifically, it defines nuclear power plant areas as communities within a 10-mile radius of any active or inactive nuclear power plant, unless the facility stores all spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in dry cask storage systems licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The bill also allows for the assessment of costs to defray the cost of emergency planning activities against active nuclear facilities or inactive facilities that store spent nuclear fuel, high-level radioactive waste, or other nuclear material, but not against inactive facilities that store all such materials in dry cask storage.
