Summary
This bill is a resolution urging the federal government to pass the Interim Consolidated Storage Act of 2016 and calling on the U.S. Department of Energy to expedite the relocation of spent nuclear fuel currently stored at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The measure seeks to move this radioactive waste from the decommissioned California nuclear plant to a licensed interim consolidated storage facility, addressing safety and environmental concerns associated with on-site storage of spent fuel. Rather than creating new law itself, this resolution expresses the state legislature's position that the federal government should take prompt action to establish centralized storage solutions for nuclear waste away from populated coastal areas.
