Summary

This bill amends the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to exclude certain reprocessing equipment from the definition of a 'production facility.' Specifically, it adds that equipment or devices capable of reprocessing spent nuclear fuel without separating plutonium from other transuranic elements are not considered production facilities.

Sec. 2, Exclusion from definition of production facility: The bill modifies Section 11 v. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 by expanding the definition of what is excluded from a 'production facility.' Currently, the exclusion covers equipment for separating uranium isotopes or enriching uranium in isotope 235. The amendment adds a new clause (B) to also exclude equipment or devices that reprocess spent nuclear fuel in a manner that does not separate plutonium from other transuranic elements.
