152.210 Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact -- Kentucky as party -Substance.
The Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact is enacted into law and entered into by
the Commonwealth of Kentucky as a party, and is of full force and effect between
the Commonwealth and any other states joining therein in accordance with the terms

ARTICLE I. POLICY AND PURPOSE
The party states recognize that the proper employment of nuclear energy, facilities,
materials, and products can assist substantially in the industrialization of the south

that optimum benefit from the acquisition of nuclear resources and facilities requires
systematic encouragement, guidance, and assistance from the party states on a
cooperative basis. It is the policy of the party states to undertake such cooperation

and framework for such a cooperative effort to improve the economy of the south
and contribute to the individual and community well being of the region's people.
