 1        AN  ACT to amend the Illinois Nuclear Facility Safety Act
 2    by changing Sections 5 and 7.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.   The Illinois Nuclear Facility Safety Act is
 6    amended by changing Sections 5 and 7 as follows:

 7        (420 ILCS 10/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4355)
 8        Sec.  5.  Program  for  Illinois  nuclear   power   plant
 9    inspectors.
10        (a)  Consistent with federal law and policy statements of
11    and  cooperative  agreements  with  the  Nuclear   Regulatory
12    Commission  with respect to State participation in health and
13    safety regulation of nuclear facilities, and  in  recognition
14    of  the  role  provided  for  the states by such laws, policy
15    statements and cooperative agreements, the  Department  shall
16    develop   and  implement  a  program  for  Illinois  resident
17    inspectors that, when fully implemented,  shall  provide  for
18    one  full-time  Departmental  Illinois  resident inspector at
19    each nuclear power plant in Illinois.  The owner of  each  of
20    the  2  nuclear power plants to which they are assigned shall
21    provide,  at  its  expense,  office   space   and   equipment
22    reasonably required by the resident inspectors while they are
23    on  the  premises  of the nuclear power plants.  The Illinois
24    resident  inspectors  shall  operate  in  accordance  with  a
25    cooperative agreement executed  by  the  Department  and  the
26    Nuclear  Regulatory  Commission  and shall have access to the
27    nuclear power plants to which  they  have  been  assigned  in
28    accordance  with  that agreement; provided, however, that the
29    Illinois resident inspectors shall  have  no  greater  access
30    than  is  afforded  to by a resident inspector of the Nuclear
31    Regulatory Commission.

 1        (b) The Department  may  also  inspect  licensed  nuclear
 2    power  plants  that  have  permanently ceased operations. The
 3    inspections shall be performed  by  inspectors  qualified  as
 4    Illinois  resident  inspectors.  The  inspectors  need not be
 5    resident at nuclear power plants that have permanently ceased
 6    operations.  The  inspectors  shall  conduct  inspections  in
 7    accordance with  a  cooperative  agreement  executed  by  the
 8    Department  and  the  Nuclear Regulatory Commission and shall
 9    have access to the nuclear power plants that have permanently
10    ceased  operations;  provided,  however,  that  the  Illinois
11    inspectors shall have no greater access than is  afforded  to
12    inspectors of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The owner of
13    each  of the nuclear power plants that has permanently ceased
14    operations shall provide, at its expense,  office  space  and
15    equipment  reasonably  required  by the inspectors while they
16    are on the premises of the nuclear power plants.
17        (c)  The  Illinois  resident  inspectors  and  inspectors
18    assigned  under  subsection  (b)  shall   each   operate   in
19    accordance with the security plan for the nuclear power plant
20    to  which  they  are  assigned, but in no event shall they be
21    required to meet any requirements imposed by a nuclear  power
22    plant  owner  that are not imposed on resident inspectors and
23    inspectors  of  the  Nuclear  Regulatory   Commission.    The
24    Department's programs and activities under this Section shall
25    not be inconsistent with federal law.

27        (420 ILCS 10/7) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4357)
28        Sec.  7.  The  Department shall not engage in any program
29    of Illinois resident inspectors or inspectors assigned  under
30    subsection  (b)  of  Section  5 at any nuclear power plant in
31    Illinois except as specifically directed by law.
