The paper presents a risk assessment to characterize the potential for liability costs associated with a facility for disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). Potential liability costs are grouped into two categories: corrective action costs (e.g., for cleanup of property and the environment) and third-party compensation costs (e.g., for bodily injury and property damage).
