NUREG/BR-0025 INFORMATION REPORT ON 4
@f..~. StateLegislation OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS U. S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
_Vol. 8 No. 7 June 1, 1982 All States eligible for the Southeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive i
Waste Compact (except North and South Carolina) have enacted their enabling legislation into law and have become parties to the Compact.
North Carolina legislature will not convene until June 6,1982.
I Representatives from NRC attended the annual meeting of the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, May 24-28, in Portland, Maine.
NRC is using this opportunity to meet with their Regional State Liaison Officers to discuss subjects such as emergency planning, high-level waste, NGA's evaluation of the Agreement States program and NRC's progress toward regionalization.
The NRC has been asked by the U.S. Department of Energy to review its draft status report, " Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compacts," prepared in response to a request from Senator James A. McClure, Chairman, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The draft DOE report is also being sent by DOE to all States and other Federal agencies for comment.
The NRC participated in a full-scale emergency response exercise with the Arkansas I nuclear power plant on May 19, 1982. Thr. drill was designed to test both the State's and the NRC's procedures for appropriate notification and response should an accident at the site occur.
