Book Description
The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act (P.L. 96-573) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1980. This Act gave responsibility for disposal of commercially generated low-level radioactive waste to the states. States were encouraged to form interstate compacts to develop regional disposal facilities. The Central Interstate Compact, made up of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska and Oklahoma was formed in 1983 & given Congressional consent (P.L. 99-240) as part of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act. This report outlines the plan for management of this compact.
