Summary

The bill defines "electric utility" and "energy facility" and then requires utilities to show customers the cost of storing nuclear waste that they recover in rates. It also obligates anyone planning to build a new nuclear plant in Oregon to disclose those waste‑storage costs to the utility and the public before development. The goal is to give ratepayers and stakeholders clear information about the true cost of nuclear power.
