NUREG/BR-0025 INFORMATION REPORT ON
%p....m State Legislation OFFICE OF STATE PROGRAMS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Vol.10, No. 6 July 27. 1984
~
On May 31, 1984, the California Senate amended Assembly Bill No. 284 in order to incorporate the Western Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact.
California legislative action is not yet complete. Arizona, the only other eligible State named in the Compact, has already enacted legislation making it a member.
The Illinois legislature has sent to the Governor for signature a bill to ratify and approve the Central Midwest Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact.
Eligibility is limited to Illinois and Kentucky. However, the Compact Conmission can enter into an agreement to accept waste generated outside the region or send to out-of-region facilities waste generated within the region subject to approval by the legislature of the host State. The legislation prohibits shallow land burial as defined in the compact.
It seeks to promote "the use of above-ground facilities and D
other disposal technologies providing greater and safer confinement" but would allow engineered structures extending below the earth's surface.
The Act also repeals Illinois' membership in the Midwest Compact.
Illinois is the largest generator in those States initially eligible to join the MidwestCompact(about45%).
Pennsylvania has decided not to join the Northeast Compact.
Instead, it is attempting to form a compact with contiguous States and Washington, D.C.
Pennsylvania has not set disclosed the wording on any compact it hopes to enact.
