Keeping
in stride with her predecessor, Attorney General Maura Healey has
called upon Congress to increase the safety at the country's nuclear
power plants, particularly those that are decommissioned and those that
store spent fuel. In a letter Thursday, Healey urged Congress to pass
three bills sponsored or co-sponsored by Senator Edward Markey,
according to a release from the AG's Office.
In a letter to US
Senator James M. Inhofe, Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee and Ranking Member Barbara Boxer, Healey wrote, "The

develop meaningful long-term solutions to the current on-site storage of
nuclear waste in facilities across the country, yet it has failed to do
so."
