S 1695 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to retirement for nuclear reactor operators

This bill amends state law to include specific University of Massachusetts Lowell nuclear reactor employees in a retirement provision. It directly affects staff holding titles such as Chief Reactor Operator, Nuclear React Operator, and Radiation Safety Specialist. The key mechanism is a text amendment to an existing statute that adds these job roles to a list of eligible workers. This change ensures these individuals are covered under the same retirement rules as other managers and employees already included in the law.
