1. 1. Investment in nuclear power plants The Legislature finds that construction of a nuclear power plant is a major financial investment, which will have consequences for consumers for years to come.

   [PL 2015, c. 165, §1 (AMD).]

2. 2. Costs The Legislature finds that there are many uncertain future costs associated with nuclear power plants, including the costs of low-level and high-level waste disposal, decommissioning and long-term care. These costs will be borne by the consumers and reductions in these costs will serve to benefit consumers.

   [PL 2001, c. 629, §1 (AMD).]

3. 3. Citizen participation The purpose of this subchapter is to provide for citizen participation in any decision to construct a nuclear power plant within the State.
