UNUSED NUCLEAR FUEL – States findings of the Legislature and supports expansion of research and development at the Idaho National Laboratory.

SCR 120 is a concurrent resolution expressing the Idaho Legislature's support for expanding used nuclear fuel reprocessing research at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). It requests the state work with the federal government to renegotiate the 1995 settlement agreement with the Department of Energy, which limits the amount of used nuclear fuel stored in Idaho, to allow greater processing capacity. The resolution encourages collaboration between state agencies, INL, industry, and academic institutions to develop reprocessing technologies that could convert used fuel into reusable material, while requiring community engagement and adherence to safety standards. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but directs state efforts to advance Idaho's role in nuclear fuel cycle research.
