An Act relative to monitoring dry casks of spent nuclear fuel
Senate: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill orders owners of nuclear plants that store spent fuel in dry casks to continuously report temperature, helium and radiation release data to the state health department. It also obligates each plant’s licensee to cover any offsite radiological emergency response expenses after the plant closes until the fuel is moved to dry casks, without using decommissioning trust funds. The goal is to protect public health and state resources from radiation risks.
