New Jersey ACR85 urges the President and Congress to compensate local governments with decommissioned nuclear plants storing spent fuel.

New Jersey ACR85 urges the President and Congress to annually financially compensate local governments with decommissioned nuclear power plants storing spent nuclear fuel. The resolution highlights that these plants cannot be repurposed while the fuel remains stored, causing lost property tax revenue. The resolution references the "Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982," which assigned the Department of Energy the task of building a federal repository for spent nuclear fuel, a task that was never completed.
