|
| 7 | | Sec. 4. Nuclear accident plans; fees. Persons engaged |
| 8 | | within this State
in the production of electricity utilizing |
| 9 | | nuclear energy, the operation of
nuclear test and research |
| 10 | | reactors, the chemical conversion of uranium, or the
|
| 11 | | transportation, storage or possession of spent nuclear fuel or |
| 12 | | high-level
radioactive waste shall pay fees to cover the cost |
| 13 | | of establishing plans and
programs to deal with the possibility |

| 15 | | be used to fund those Agency and local
government activities |
| 16 | | defined as necessary by the Director to implement and
