SCR 19

This concurrent resolution urges the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to fulfill their legal obligation to establish a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste. The resolution serves as a formal expression of legislative intent, calling on federal agencies to address the long-standing issue of nuclear waste storage by creating a permanent disposal facility. While the resolution itself is non-binding and does not create new law, it represents legislative pressure on federal agencies to resolve the critical infrastructure need for safe, long-term storage of radioactive materials currently being held at temporary sites across the country.
