STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Two

 

A RESOLUTION calling for the federal government to construct a nuclear waste repository to permanently store our nation's nuclear waste.

 

Whereas, the United States has no permanent nuclear waste storage facility; and

Whereas, spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive byproducts of nuclear power generation have nowhere to go and must remain on the sites of nuclear power facilities; and

Whereas, keeping nuclear waste on-site of nuclear power facilities potentially increases the risk to safety; and

Whereas, the state of New Hampshire has such a facility in Seabrook which stores nuclear waste on-site; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the New Hampshire house of representatives requests the federal government construct a nuclear waste repository to permanently store our nation's nuclear waste; and

That copies of this resolution, signed by the speaker of the house of representatives be forwarded by him to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
