HR 16

This resolution from the New Hampshire House of Representatives formally calls on the federal government to construct a permanent nuclear waste repository to store the nation's radioactive waste, which currently must be kept on-site at nuclear power facilities due to the lack of a national storage solution. The resolution specifically cites safety concerns about storing nuclear waste at power plant locations, including at New Hampshire's Seabrook facility, and directs that copies be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, and New Hampshire's congressional delegation. While this resolution expresses the state legislature's position and urges federal action, it has no binding legal effect and cannot compel the federal government to build such a facility.
