H 3199

This bill updates the governance structure and operational framework of the Pilgrim Decommissioning State Oversight Panel, which monitors the decommissioning of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant. The legislation expands the panel's membership to include additional stakeholders such as a Pilgrim Station retiree with environmental or security expertise, a local environmental group representative, and appointees recommended by local state legislators, while also establishing 3-year terms for non-designated members. The bill also modifies the panel's meeting requirements to quarterly sessions until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's partial site release, then annually until spent fuel removal and license termination, and adds oversight responsibility for monitoring compliance with the 2020 Comprehensive Agreement between Massachusetts and Holtec Decommissioning International.
