Relating to making West Virginia an agreement state with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

HB 208 establishes a new Radiation Control Act to make West Virginia an agreement state with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ensuring state regulations align with federal standards. The bill designates the West Virginia Department of Health as the primary agency responsible for licensing radioactive materials, managing radiation safety programs, and overseeing the decommissioning of facilities. It creates two specific funds to support these operations and grants the department authority to enforce rules through civil penalties and criminal charges for violations. Additionally, the legislation repeals previous state laws regarding radioactive waste storage and defines key terms related to radiation sources and safety procedures.
