Urges President of United States and United States Congress to annually financially compensate every local unit of government in United States where there is located decommissioned nuclear power plant in which spent nuclear fuel is stored.

SCR 77 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the U.S. President and Congress to pass laws requiring annual financial compensation for local governments hosting decommissioned nuclear power plants that store spent nuclear fuel on-site. It specifically proposes $15 per kilogram of spent fuel annually, mirroring a 2017 bill (H.R.3929), to offset lost property tax revenue since these sites cannot be redeveloped while fuel remains stored. The resolution highlights that 17 decommissioned reactors across the U.S. (including New Jersey’s Oyster Creek) have become de facto permanent storage sites due to the federal repository never being built, burdening municipalities with lost tax income. As a concurrent resolution, it does not create law but formally requests federal action to address this issue until a national repository is operational.
