SF 186

This bill appears to modify regulations governing the storage of spent nuclear fuel at advanced nuclear reactor manufacturing facilities in Wyoming. The legislation allows these manufacturing facilities to store not only spent nuclear fuel from advanced nuclear reactors but also other high-level radioactive waste generated during the manufacturing and refurbishing process at their sites, provided they meet U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements. The bill streamlines the approval process by removing certain application requirements and clarifies that Wyoming's Industrial Development Information and Siting Act applies only to the extent it doesn't interfere with, contradict, or duplicate federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements, essentially deferring to federal oversight for these facilities.
