Bans new private nuclear waste storage sites and cancels existing licenses.
This bill would stop the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from giving out new licenses. These licenses are for private companies to store spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at sites away from power plants. It would also cancel any existing licenses for these private storage sites. This means communities near these sites would no longer face the prospect of new or ongoing private nuclear waste storage.
Today, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can issue licenses for private companies to store spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at sites away from power plants. Some of these licenses already exist. If this bill becomes law, the Commission would be banned from issuing any new such licenses, and all current licenses for these private facilities would be immediately canceled. This would limit storage options to the power plants themselves or federally owned facilities.
