Bill > H2817

This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws to add specific job positions at the University of Massachusetts Lowell to a list of employees eligible for certain retirement benefits. The added positions include Director of Radiation Safety, Radiation Safety Specialist, Accelerator Supervisor, Radiation Services Manager, Nuclear Reactor Supervisor, Chief Reactor Operator, Nuclear Reactor Operator-professional, and Reactor Engineer. By including these nuclear energy-related roles, the bill allows these University of Massachusetts Lowell employees to potentially access special retirement provisions that may provide more favorable retirement terms, likely recognizing the technical complexity and potential risks associated with operating nuclear facilities and radiation-related equipment. The amendment appears to be a targeted change to expand retirement benefits for a specific group of technical and safety-focused professionals in the nuclear energy field.
