Removing Nuclear Waste from our Communities Act of 2017 This bill amends the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to authorize the Department of Energy (DOE) to enter into new contracts (or modify existing contracts) with the licensee of an interim consolidated storage facility in order to take title to and store in it either high-level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel of domestic origin. The bill defines: "interim consolidated storage facility" as a facility licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the storage of high-level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel received from DOE or from two or more persons that generate or hold title to such fuel generated at a civilian nuclear power reactor, and "high-level radioactive waste" as including Greater than Class C waste. The bill assigns priority to storage of such waste and spent fuel located on sites without an operating nuclear reactor and with over 15 million residents within a 50-mile radius. The bill makes appropriations targeted for the Nuclear Waste Fund available to pay for costs in connection with storage in an interim consolidated storage facility. Beginning in FY2020 DOE shall not expend, on fees for dry modes of storage of high-level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel, any amounts exceeding the cumulative amount of interest generated by the fund each fiscal year.

A covered regulation includes: (1) an emergency preparedness or response regulation or requirement, or (2) a security regulation or requirement applicable to spent nuclear fuel. This prohibition shall not apply to a civilian nuclear power reactor at which all spent nuclear fuel has been transferred to spent nuclear fuel dry casks.

Mme Mathilde Panot attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur le projet d'enfouissement de déchets nucléaires à Bure. Ce projet est réputé pour son caractère foncièrement anti-écologique. Le collectif Sortir du Nucléaire mène une lutte pied à pied depuis plusieurs années pour qu'il ne voie pas le jour. Mme la députée sollicite son avis, consciente de son engagement passé, et qu'elle espère encore présent, contre ce projet. Les récentes conclusions de l'institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nationale (IRSN), rendues publiques début juillet 2017, sont des plus préoccupantes quant à la dangerosité présentée par le projet. En effet, l'enfouissement à 500 mètres des déchets nucléaires implique un risque d'incendie pour ce qui concerne les alvéoles de stockage de colis d'enrobés bitumineux. L'enrobage bitumineux présente une faille majeure, à savoir l'instabilité chimique au lieu de l'inertie qui était attendue du procédé. De ce fait, lors de l'éventuel entreposage desdits déchets nucléaires, l'IRSN souligne l'existence d'un risque majeur, le réchauffement d'une des alvéoles pouvant causer un incendie dont la propagation atteindrait tous les autres fûts stockés dans le même tunnel. Compte tenu que 18 % du stock concerné par le projet de Bure appartient à la catégorie de déchets susmentionnés, ce qui constitue un problème d'ampleur. En août 2017, l'ASN a confirmé les préoccupations de l'IRSN relatives aux risques du projet tel qu'il est présenté à ce jour par l'ANDRA. Une poursuite du projet tel quel serait à l'évidence un coût inutile et aberrant pour les finances publiques. Elle souhaiterait ainsi connaître l'avis du ministère en ce qui concerne la poursuite de ce projet qu'elle considère comme appartenant aux grands projets inutiles, coûteux pour l'État, nuisibles aux citoyen(ne)s, et uniquement liés à la démesure des responsables qui ne parviennent pas à en concevoir l'arrêt. Mme la députée rappelle que les tensions liées à ce projet sont de toute évidence liées à la dépendance de la France à l'énergie atomique, à l'incapacité de traiter les déchets et que cela confirme la nécessité de sortir urgemment du nucléaire.

Sensible, Timely Relief for America's Nuclear Districts' Economic Development Act of 2017 or the STRANDED Act of 2017 This bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to enter into an arrangement under which the National Academy of Sciences must conduct a study to determine whether opportunities exist for affected communities to consider alternatives to nuclear facilities, generating sites, and waste sites. DOE must also: (1) establish the Stranded Nuclear Waste Task Force to study existing public and private resources and funding for affected communities, and (2) establish a grant program to assist localities near nuclear power plants to offset the impacts of stranded nuclear waste in affected communities. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to provide for tax incentives for investment in nuclear affected communities.
