Summary
The bill requires the state director to label any community within a 50‑mile radius of an operating or inactive nuclear power plant that stores spent fuel or high‑level waste as a “nuclear power plant area.” The designation applies even if the plant is outside Massachusetts and remains in effect until all nuclear waste leaves the site. This aims to focus public‑health and safety standards on those neighborhoods.
