Summary
This bill establishes a "New York State Dry Cask Storage Fund" that requires nuclear facilities located in emergency planning zones with populations exceeding 200,000 people to pay $750,000 annually for each dry cask containing spent nuclear fuel stored at their facilities. The payments continue for as long as the storage containers remain on site, and the Public Service Commission has authority to order increases to these amounts. The collected funds may be used for developing renewable energy sources, reimbursing counties within emergency planning zones for emergency costs, developing renewable energy for schools and municipal purposes, and allocating 20% to statewide energy assistance programs, with priority given to school and municipal projects.
