What it does
The bill would require the Secretary of Energy to conduct a comprehensive study within 90 days of enactment on the practicability, benefits, costs, and risks of recycling spent nuclear fuel, including comparing recycling methods and evaluating impacts on storage, safety, and proliferation. The study must assess technical and economic feasibility, identify affected parties, analyze facility siting options, and review regulatory definitions, with findings reported to Congress and the public within one year in a concise, nonspecialist-friendly format. It aims to inform potential policy changes to support nuclear fuel recycling and reduce reliance on indefinite temporary storage.
