Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Restriction Act of 2025

This bill would bar the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from issuing licenses to store spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste at sites other than an operating civilian nuclear power reactor where the waste was made or a federally owned interim storage facility. It would also bar licenses for long-term storage or permanent disposal of such waste anywhere other than a federally owned repository. Any such licenses already in effect when the bill becomes law would be treated as null and void. The bill also states the sense of Congress that the Commission lacks express legal authority to license privately owned storage sites away from reactors.
