California AB1757 prohibits nuclear fission thermal powerplants from being certified unless certain conditions are met.

California AB1757 amends the Public Resources Code to prohibit the certification of nuclear fission thermal powerplants unless the commission finds that the United States has approved a technology for the disposal of high-level nuclear waste and for the construction and operation of nuclear fuel rod reprocessing plants. The commission must report its findings to the Legislature, which can disaffirm the findings if they disagree. Certification can proceed 100 legislative days after the report unless the Legislature acts to nullify the findings.
