A bill to enable States located on a river or acquifer affected by the siting of a repository for high-level radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel to participate effectively in the site selection, review, and approval process for such repository, and for other purposes.

Amends the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to grant any State which lies contiguous to a major river, waterway, or underground aquifer adjacent to which a nuclear waste repository has been proposed to be located the same right to participate in site selection, review, and approval as the State in which the repository is proposed to be located.
