Overview
This bill, the Nuclear REFUEL (Recycling Efficient Fuels Utilizing Expedited Licensing) Act, changes how the government defines a ‘production facility’ under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Specifically, it removes the restriction that prevents facilities from reprocessing spent nuclear fuel unless they separate plutonium. This change would allow for the recycling of spent nuclear fuel without the need to isolate plutonium, potentially creating a new pathway for utilizing this material and reducing nuclear waste.
