Overview
This bill changes how New Jersey reviews permits for nuclear energy facilities under the Coastal Area Facility Review Act. Specifically, it requires the Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner to assess whether the facility’s plan for storing and disposing of radioactive waste is safe, meets Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, and protects public health and the environment. Currently, the review process only focused on the disposal of waste generated by the facility. The bill aims to strengthen the safety oversight of radioactive waste management at these facilities.
