I did some searching on http://thomas.loc.gov, and came up with the following history of bills introduced.
I've grouped them by topic:
INDIAN POINT
OYSTER CREEK
POTASSIUM IODIDE
OTHER REGULATION
OTHER REGULATION
I didn't find any other bills related to specific nuclear plants, although the search went back to 1990. Maybe I missed some.
Notice some are House, some are Senate bills. Sponsor and cosponsors are listed. This is just a starting point for identifying potential cosponsors for a nationwide nuclear safety bill. I suppose the next step would be to identify all the House districts where reactors are located.
