Texas Bill Banning Rad Waste Storage On its Way to Governor’s Desk

摘要

Second time’s the charm for a proposed bill aimed at banning the storage of high-level nuclear waste including spent fuel in Texas, which cleared both houses of the state legislature this week in a parliamentary blitz. The measure, co-sponsored by state Rep. Brooks Landgraf (R) and state Sen. Brian Birdwell (R), passed in its second trip to the Texas House on a 119-3 vote Thursday afternoon. The bill cleared the House last week on a voice vote.
