Nuclear Waste Repository Absolute State Veto Act

Summary

Nuclear Waste Repository Absolute State Veto Act - Amends the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to eliminate congressional review of State or Indian tribe disapproval notices with respect to the designation of a site for a repository for high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel (thereby making such a site designation ineffective if any such notice of disapproval has been submitted by a State or Indian tribe to Congress). Authorizes the Secretary of Energy to enter into a tentative agreement for impact assistance with a State or Indian tribe at any time following the approval of a candidate site for such a repository in the State or on the tribe's reservation. Requires that such an agreement indicate the amount of assistance to be provided if a construction authorization for a repository is granted. Makes such an agreement binding upon the Secretary upon the granting of the construction authorization.
