AB 719 - Introduced

Existing law prohibits land use in the state for nuclear fission thermal powerplants or, where applicable, the plants from being certified by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, except for certain existing plants, until the commission makes a finding regarding the existance of an aproved and demonstrated technology or means for the disposal of high-level nuclear waste. The commission is also required to perform certain other duties with regard to nuclear fission thermal powerplants. This bill would create the California Zero Carbon Dioxide Emission Electrical Generation Act of 2007. The bill would repeal that prohibition regarding permitting and certifying nuclear fission thermal powerplants, along with certain other duties of the commission with regard to nuclear fission thermal powerplants.
