HD 2490 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to monitoring dry casks of spent nuclear fuel

This bill requires owners and operators of nuclear facilities in Massachusetts (that store spent nuclear fuel in dry casks and aren't classified as "stranded assets") to report real-time temperature, helium release, and radiation levels from each dry cask to the Department of Public Health. The Department of Public Health must then develop rules for this reporting, working with the Attorney General's office. The law aims to monitor radiation impacts on public health and the environment from stored nuclear fuel. It directly affects nuclear facility operators in Massachusetts handling dry cask storage.
