Banning Private Nuclear Waste Storage: Enhancing Public Safety.

This act aims to enhance public safety by prohibiting government agencies from issuing licenses for private, interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. It means such waste can only be stored at its generation site (nuclear reactors) or in federally owned facilities, and all existing private licenses will be voided. The goal is to ensure better oversight of hazardous materials.
