nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social @nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The bill states that in place of permanent storage, those in charge of the project will be responsible for the temporary storage until (if ever) a permanent storage solution is determined or they're removed to 'interim' storage, even after the project license expires. This is not acceptable. 100 0
nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social @nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Second, if it is determined that there is a licensed, permanent storage solution for the radioactive waste, the proposed site certificate is presented to Oregon voters for approval or rejection.

nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social @nuclearfreeoregon.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Oregon law states that in order for a site certificate to be granted for a nuclear reactor plant in Oregon, two things must happen.
