Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the prompt decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure the prompt decommissioning of nuclear power stations in Massachusetts. It establishes the Nuclear Power Station Post-closure Trust Fund, which will be funded by an annual $25 million fee charged to nuclear power station owners or affiliates if the station is not fully decommissioned within 5 years of ceasing power generation. The fund will be used to support decommissioning activities, such as spent fuel management, site cleanup, and emergency planning, after federal decommissioning funds are exhausted. The bill also sets out the process for authorizing and verifying disbursements from the fund, and requires the executive office of energy and environmental affairs to issue an order confirming the completion of post-closure activities before the remaining balance is returned to the station owner.
