Bill overview
This bill, the Spent Fuel Prioritization Act of 2023, changes how the Department of Energy decides which nuclear waste to accept for long-term storage. It directs the Department to prioritize waste and fuel from nuclear reactors that are either shut down, located in densely populated areas, are in earthquake-prone zones, or pose a significant national security risk due to their continued storage. The goal is to focus on reactors that present the greatest immediate challenges related to safety and security.
