The law dedicates reactor fee revenue to radiation safety and emergency response work. Environmental department fees go into the Radiation Protection Fund for its duties under the Radiation Protection Act. Emergency preparedness fees go into the Radiological Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness Program Fund. Fees for emergency equipment, planning, training, and exercises go into the Radiation Emergency Response Fund for the emergency-response agency. The law also establishes a separate Radiation Transportation Emergency Response Fund, supported by transport fees, for transportation-related response duties.
Holders of federal construction permits or operating licenses for qualifying Pennsylvania reactor sites must pay three annual fees. The law covers microreactors rated at 100 electrical megawatts or less and small modular reactors rated at 400 or less. Each fee is $10,000 to $50,000 per site, regardless of the number of reactors there. One covers state environmental monitoring, decommissioning oversight, and related duties; another covers emergency preparedness, planning, and recovery. The third covers emergency equipment, planning, training, and exercises involving people outside the emergency-response agency. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment; payments are due within 30 days afterward and every July 1 thereafter. Starting in 2030, agencies review fees every three years and must adopt new rates through regulations when needed to cover program costs.
