Permits certain municipalities to impose stranded nuclear waste fee.
This bill allows municipalities with decommissioned nuclear power plants (where spent fuel is stored onsite) to impose a fee on plant owners. The fee, capped at $15 per kilogram of stored spent nuclear fuel, is calculated annually based on the total fuel weight. Revenue from this fee must be used exclusively to reduce the municipality’s property tax levy. It directly affects plant owners in eligible towns and aims to offset local tax burdens related to long-term nuclear waste storage.
