Washington HB2634 addresses the safe management of radioactive waste and cleanup of hazardous substance releases into the environment.

Washington HB2634 mandates the Department of Ecology to investigate and remediate hazardous substance releases from the commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal facility. The bill requires the development of a remediation plan and an environmental impact statement, which must be completed before any new nuclear reactors can be approved. It also stipulates that no additional low-level radioactive waste from new commercial nuclear reactors should be disposed of in the facility until the site is fully investigated and remediated.
