An Act relative to retirement for nuclear reactor operators
This bill amends retirement eligibility under Chapter 32 of the General Laws to include specific UMass Lowell radiation safety and reactor operator positions. It adds job titles like "Director of Radiation Safety," "Nuclear Reactor Supervisor," and "Reactor Engineer" to the list of roles qualifying for retirement benefits. The change directly affects UMass Lowell employees in these defined roles, ensuring they meet the same retirement criteria as other eligible staff. The bill makes a technical adjustment to existing law without altering broader policy.
