The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

(a) The citizens of California should be protected from exposure to radiation from nuclear facilities.

(b) It is in the best interests of all citizens of California that the costs of electricity generated by nuclear facilities be fairly distributed among present and future California electric customers so that customers are charged only for costs that are reasonably and prudently incurred.

(c) The costs of electricity generated by nuclear facilities, including the costs of their decontamination and decommissioning, should be reduced to the lowest level consistent with public health and safety.

(d) The ultimate costs of the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are of significant magnitude, and introduce an element of financial risk to both electric customers and investors unless prudent provision is made for defraying those costs.

(e) In order to reduce both risk and ultimate costs for all of its citizens, the State of California should establish a comprehensive framework for timely payment of the costs of decommissioning, and provide for allocation of risks and costs among the respective interests.

(f) The principal considerations in establishing a state policy respecting the economic aspects of decommissioning are as follows:

(1) Assuring that the funds required for decommissioning are available at the time and in the amount required for protection of the public.

(2) Minimizing the cost to electric customers of an acceptable level of assurance.

(3) Structuring payments for decommissioning so that electric customers and investors are treated equitably over time so that customers are charged only for costs that are reasonably and prudently incurred.

(g) Decommissioning nuclear facilities causes electric utility employees to become unemployed through no fault of their own, and these employees are entitled to reasonable job protection the costs of which are properly includable in the costs of decommissioning.
