Modifies certain CAFRA permit review requirements for nuclear facilities.

Summary

The legislation amends the Coastal Area Facility Review Act so the Department of Environmental Protection must determine whether a nuclear power plant’s method for storing or disposing of its radioactive waste is safe, meets Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, and removes danger to life and the environment. It expands the current requirement, which only addressed disposal, to include storage. The change is intended to tighten oversight of radioactive waste at New Jersey nuclear facilities.
