Nuclear REFUEL (Recycling Efficient Fuels Utilizing Expedited Licensing) Act

This bill changes the definition of "production facility" in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, a federal nuclear law. That definition already excludes equipment used to separate uranium isotopes or enrich uranium. The bill would add another exclusion for equipment or devices that reprocess spent nuclear fuel in a way that does not separate plutonium from other transuranic elements. Such equipment would no longer count as a "production facility" under the law.
