## Summary

**This bill would block the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from issuing licenses that allow consolidated interim storage of spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste at non-federal sites.** It aims to stop private or state-run consolidated interim storage and to void any such licenses, keeping storage tied to reactor sites or federal facilities. - Communities near proposed consolidated interim storage sites would see those projects blocked. Any license that fits the bill's ban would be deemed null and void if enacted. - Owners of spent nuclear fuel and utilities would be limited to storing fuel at the reactor where it was generated or at federally owned interim storage or federally owned repositories under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission would be barred from issuing licenses for interim or long-term storage at non-federal sites and the bill ties key terms to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, narrowing NRC licensing authority. - The bill does not create new funding or program authorities and would take effect immediately on enactment.
