Introduced Text

Massachusetts S3074 aims to enhance public health and safety standards in communities near nuclear power plants and high-level nuclear waste sites.

Massachusetts S3074 amends existing law to designate specific areas within a 50-mile radius of nuclear power plants or inactive nuclear power plants storing nuclear waste as "nuclear power plant areas." This applies to both active and inactive facilities storing spent nuclear fuel, high-level waste, or other nuclear materials until the waste leaves the site. The bill focuses on improving public health and safety standards in these communities.
