Section 4301 - Findings and purpose1.Investment in nuclear power plants. The Legislature finds that construction of a nuclear power plant is a major financial investment, which will have consequences for consumers for years to come. [2015, c. 165, §1(AMD).]
2.Costs. The Legislature finds that there are many uncertain future costs associated with nuclear power plants, including the costs of low-level and high-level waste disposal, decommissioning and long-term care. These costs will be borne by the consumers and reductions in these costs will serve to benefit consumers. [2001, c. 629, §1(AMD).]
3.Citizen participation. The purpose of this subchapter is to provide for citizen participation in any decision to construct a nuclear power plant within the State. [1987, c. 141, Pt. A, §6(NEW).]
