AI Summary

This bill aims to improve public health and safety standards in communities around aging nuclear power plants and high-level nuclear waste dump sites. It amends existing legislation to expand the "nuclear power plant areas" designation to include all communities within a 50-mile radius of any active or inactive nuclear power plant that stores nuclear waste, whether within the Commonwealth or not. The bill authorizes assessments to be made against both active facilities and inactive nuclear power facilities that harbor spent nuclear fuel, high-level waste, or other nuclear material until the waste is fully removed from the site.
