Bill Summary
Amends the Radiation Protection Act of 1990. Provides that all intrastate and interstate shippers or carriers (rather than intrastate and interstate carriers) of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel are required to notify the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security no less than 7 days (rather than 24 hours) prior to any transportation of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel. Changes the definition of "carrier" and "irradiated reactor fuel". Adds a definition of "shipper". Provides that the Agency may collect, store, and dispose of uncontrolled sources of radiation that have entered the public domain and that the Agency considers to be a threat to public health and safety or the environment. Authorizes the Agency to assess actual costs, as appropriate, for the collection, storage, and disposal of uncontrolled sources of radiation that have entered the public domain and that the Agency considers to be a threat to public health and safety or the environment against any person that owns, owned, possesses, or is responsible for the radioactive material entering the public domain.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Radiation Protection Act of 1990 to modify requirements and definitions related to the transportation of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel in Illinois. The bill changes the notification timeline for intrastate and interstate shippers or carriers of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel from 24 hours to 7 days prior to transportation, and requires notification to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency about the proposed route, entry point, time, amount, and source of the fuel. It updates key definitions, including redefining "carrier" as any entity transporting irradiated reactor fuel, "irradiated reactor fuel" as fuel withdrawn from a nuclear reactor that has not been reprocessed, and introducing a new definition for "shipper" as the entity or agent offering the fuel for transportation. Additionally, the bill adds a provision allowing the Agency to collect, store, and dispose of uncontrolled radiation sources that pose a threat to public health, safety, or the environment, with the authority to assess costs against the owner or responsible party for such actions.
