INFORMATION REPORT ON
@$g>R"IC State Legis ation Q*%
a OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION JLol 10 flo. 5 Arizona enacted Senate Bill 1365 on May 14,1984.
The resultant Act makes Arizona the first member of the Western low-Level Waste Disposal Compact.
California is the only other named party to the Compact and has not yet enacted legislation.
Georoia passed legislation to confo.7n the text of their compact with that of e'her members of the Southeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact in House Bill 1267 which was enacted on March 28, 1984.
NRC and the State of Illinois have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that provides for cooperation between them in regulating nuclear activities. The Memorandum was signed by NRC Chairman Nunzio J. Palladino and Illinois Governor James R. Thompson.
It is intended to provide the basis for detailed subagreements in areas such as low-level radioactive waste packaging, treatment, storage and transport; emergency preparedness; 9
siting of nuclear facilities; decommissioning of nuclear facilities; transport of irradiated reactor fuel and monitoring the transport of radioactive material.
It does not transfer any licensing authority from the NRC to the State of Illinois. Each party agrees to explore the possibility of sharing proprietary and other information in its possession that is exempt from mandatory disclosure. The Memorandum further provides for consideration of compensation to one party for activities performed at the request of the other party.
The first subagreement, effective June 11, 1984, allows the State of Illinois to perform certain inspection functions for and on behalf of NRC, Specifically it allows Illinois to inspect certain NRC reactor and materials licensees' facilities which generate low-level radioactive waste and determine compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations regarding the packaging and transportation of such waste destined for disposal at a commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal site.
Signatories to the subagreement were NRC Regional Administrator James G.
Keppler and Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety Director Don Etchison.
