Summary
This bill is a joint memorial from the Oregon Legislative Assembly urging the U.S. Congress to designate a permanent repository for high-level radioactive waste. The memorial expresses concern that without federal action to establish such a repository, Oregon residents may face the financial burden of having to pay for construction of their own waste storage facility. The resolution directs that copies be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, the Secretary of Energy, and Oregon's Congressional delegation to formally communicate the state's position on this federal responsibility for nuclear waste management.
