Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act

What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Department of Energy to get written agreements from state governors, local governments, and tribes before using nuclear waste fund money for radioactive waste disposal.
  • This affects states and communities where nuclear waste repositories may be located or where waste would be transported.
  • The bill has no specified cost but gives state and local governments veto power over nuclear waste projects in their areas.
