Summary
This bill is a resolution urging the U.S. Department of Energy to relocate spent nuclear fuel currently stored at California nuclear facilities to a licensed interim consolidated storage facility, and to determine a permanent storage location for this radioactive waste. The measure addresses the ongoing challenge of nuclear waste management in California by calling for federal action to move spent fuel away from existing nuclear plant sites to more secure, centralized storage facilities. This non-binding resolution reflects California's push to remove accumulated nuclear waste from facilities within the state, particularly from decommissioned plants where spent fuel continues to be stored on-site.
