LR 363

This legislative resolution directs Nebraska's Natural Resources Committee to conduct an interim study examining the potential for reprocessing and recycling spent nuclear fuel, as well as reviewing current state laws governing nuclear waste disposal, transportation, and storage. The study will specifically investigate advanced technologies including pyrochemical processing, molten salt reactors, and advanced non-light water reactors that could potentially reprocess spent fuel, while also examining Nebraska's payments into the federal Nuclear Waste Fund which has not yet produced a permanent storage facility. Upon completion, the committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature, potentially informing future policy decisions regarding nuclear waste management and advanced nuclear technologies in Nebraska.
