lNFORMATION REPORT ON
@f*"* StateLegis ation OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[
Vol. 9 Ho. 2 March 1 1983 On January 7,1983, President Reagan signed into law the Nuclear Waste Policy Act F 1982. The Act requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to study five potential sites for the permanent disposal of high-level waste and recommend three of these sites to the President by January 1, 1985. The President must recommend to Congress the first national repository by March 31, 1987 and the second by March 31, 1990. A State government or Indian tribe may veto a site recommendation; however, the State's veto may be overridden by approval of both Houses of Congress.
Af ter Congress approves a site recommendation, the 00E will submit an application for construction authorization to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC will license waste disposal at the facilities.
I Other provisions of the Waste Policy Act include the following:
o DOE must submit to Congress a feasibility study of one or more monitored retrievable storage facilities (MRSF), which would provide for retrieval of both waste and spent fuel.
o DOE is authorized to construct and operate a deep geologic Test and Evaluation Facility.
o Owners of low-level waste disposal facilities are required to post bond to assure site and equipment cleanup at the tennination of the facility's license subsequent to which DOE may take title and custody of the low-level waste and site.
o Provisions for interim storage of spent fuel are provided, but such storage will not be permitti "are than three years after the availability of a hio'
- v. ; i repository or MRSF.
The State of Michigan enacted the Midwest Low-level Radioactive Waste Compact on December 30, 1982.
So far this year, compact legislation has been introduced in the following States: Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Oklahoma. The Northwest Compact, which was enacted by the requisite number of party States last year and submitted to Congress but not acted on, was resubmitted to b
Congress on January 27, 1983. The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold F
hearings on the States' progress towards implementation of the Low-Level Waste Policy Act of 1980 on March 2, 1983.
