Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Bill

Section 1: Atlasia recognizes the importance of responsible handling of nuclear waste, especially due to the likely increase of nuclear energy usage as a result of the "Nuclear Power Advancement Act".

Section 2: Atlasia believes that reprocessing of nuclear waste is a sensible alternative to direct disposal, and will provide aid to energy providers that choose to reprocess.

Section 3: A tax rebate equal to 75% of the difference in cost of reprocessing compared to current direct disposal will be provided as an incentive.
Spon: Sen. Franzl

Section 4: Nuclear waste will be transported and reprocessed in areas with little inhabitants, no sites of environmental sensibility, and no nearby freshwater sources or exploitable water resources.

Aye

Is it possible to introduce a friendly mini-amendment rewording Sen. Hashemite's amendment so it could read:

'Section 4: Nuclear waste will be transported to and reprocessed only in areas with few inhabitants and limited environmental sensitivity, with no nearby sources of freshwater and no exploitable water resources.'

It can easily be done by myself once this vote is done. Just makes it easier since it only needs two more votes to pass too.
