Used nuclear fuel storage-amendments.
HB 16 establishes Wyoming's regulatory framework for storing used nuclear fuel, directly affecting facilities planning to store this material within the state. The bill requires all installations to use dry cask storage (a temporary method using sealed containers), be temporary, and submit detailed applications to the state department - including federal license copies, site selection criteria, environmental impact data, and job/tax impact reports. It exempts these facilities from Wyoming's Industrial Development Siting Act and mandates public reporting of federal communications and operational data. The bill died in committee in March 2025 and has not advanced further.
