The House version of the Central Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact (H.R. 1046) establishes Congressional consent for Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Kouisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Oklahoma to cooperate on a regional basis in managing and storing low-level radioactive wastes. The purpose of the compact is to help the participating states establish an equitable distribution of the costs and benefits and to encourage those who generate low-level wastes to reduce the quantity. The bill defines pertinent terms, outlines the rights and responsibilities of participating states in maintaining a storage facility, establishes a managing commission, and specifies how the commission should develop and operate a regional facility.
