| Sec. 2. It is declared to be the policy of the General | 9 |
| Assembly to protect
the people of the State of Illinois against | 10 |
| adverse health effects resulting
from radiological accidents | 11 |
| and incidents by establishing a mechanism for emergency
| 12 |
| preparedness
to mitigate the effects of such accidents and | 13 |
| incidents . The General Assembly finds that
it is appropriate | 14 |
| that the nuclear industry bear costs
associated
with preparing | 15 |
| and implementing plans to deal with the
effects of nuclear | 16 |
| accidents and incidents . The fees assessed by this Act are | 17 |
| intended
to cover the costs of the Nuclear Safety Preparedness | 18 |
| Program authorized by
this Act.

| 14 |
| necessarily be limited to:
| 15 |
| (1) Development of a remote effluent monitoring system | 16 |
| capable of
reliably detecting and quantifying accidental | 17 |
| radioactive releases from
nuclear power plants to the | 18 |
| environment;
| 19 |
| (2) Development of an environmental monitoring program | 20 |
| for nuclear
facilities other than nuclear power plants;
| 21 |
| (3) Development of procedures for radiological | 22 |
| assessment and radiation
exposure control for areas | 23 |
| surrounding each nuclear facility in Illinois;
| 24 |
| (4) Radiological training of state and local emergency
| 25 |
| response personnel in accordance with the Agency's
| 26 |
| Department's responsibilities
under the program;

| scenarios
and in the exercising of fixed facility nuclear | 29 |
| emergency response plans;
| 30 |
| (6) Development of mitigative emergency planning | 31 |
| standards including,
but not limited to, standards | 32 |
| pertaining to evacuations, re-entry into
evacuated areas, | 33 |
| contaminated foodstuffs and contaminated water supplies;

| Department's remote monitoring system.
| 16 |
| (c) The owners of each nuclear power reactor in Illinois | 17 |
| shall provide
the Agency
Department all system status signals | 18 |
| which could initiate Emergency Action
Level Declarations, | 19 |
| actuate accident mitigation and provide mitigation
| 20 |
| verification as directed by the Agency
Department . The Agency
| 21 |
| Department shall designate
by rule those system status signals | 22 |
| that must be provided. Signals
providing indication of | 23 |
| operating power level shall also be provided.
The owners of the | 24 |
| nuclear power reactors shall, at their expense, ensure
that | 25 |
| valid signals will be provided continuously 24 hours a day.
| 26 |
| All such signals shall be provided in a manner and at a | 27 |
| frequency
specified by the Agency
Department for incorporation | 28 |
| into and augmentation of the
remote effluent monitoring system | 29 |
| specified in subsection (a) (1) of this
Section. Provision | 30 |
| shall be made for assuring that such system status and

| level signals shall be available to the Agency
Department
| 32 |
| during reactor
operation as well as throughout accidents and | 33 |
| subsequent
recovery operations.
| 34 |
| For nuclear reactors with operating licenses issued by the | 35 |
| Nuclear
Regulatory Commission prior to the effective date of | 36 |

| Act, such signals shall be provided to
the Department prior to | 5 |
| commencing initial fuel load for such reactor.
Nuclear reactors | 6 |
| receiving their operating license after the effective date
of | 7 |
| this amendatory Act, but before July 1, 1985, shall provide | 8 |
| such system
status and power level signals to the Department of | 9 |
