Representatives of several states, several regional low-level waste offices, health services, and others testified at a review of the progress made since passage of the 1980 Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act made the safety and efficient management of these wastes a regional concern. Four of the six regional authorities have submitted compact proposals to Congress. The witnesses were asked to discuss how low-level wastes will be managed in states which have not agreed to regional facilities, and whether their wastes will be acceptable elsewhere. The texts of H.R. 1012, H.R. 3002, and H.R. 3777, which grant Congressional consent to Northwest, Central, and Southeast compacts are followed by the testimony of 16 witnesses and additional material submitted for the record.
