Senate adds nuclear waste storage to study of advanced nuclear energy, re-refers bill to Appropriations
Summary
The Senate amended House Bill 10-25 to add temporary and permanent nuclear waste storage to a Legislative Management study of advanced nuclear energy siting and deployment; the amendment was adopted and the bill was re‑referred to Appropriations.
Senator Kessel presented House Bill 10-25, which directs the Legislative Management to study feasibility, siting and deployment of advanced nuclear power plants in the state during the 2025-26 interim. Kessel said the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee proposed an amendment to add consideration of temporary and permanent nuclear waste storage and possible in-state and out-of-state siting locations.
The committee reported the amendment passed committee by a 7-0 vote. The Senate adopted the proposed amendment on the floor by voice vote, and House Bill 10-25 was re‑referred to the Appropriations Committee.
What changed: The amendment explicitly adds temporary and permanent nuclear waste storage — including in-state and out-of-state siting locations — to the scope of the Legislative Management study on advanced nuclear energy.
Next steps: The bill, as amended, will go to Appropriations for fiscal review and any further floor action.
