During its deliberations at the end of 1985 on the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, Congress chose not to include language addressing the issue of mixed low-level radioactive and hazardous waste regulation. When Congress again considered the issue in early 1986, it encouraged the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish an appropriate regulatory program for mixed waste without new legislation. Since that time the NRC and EPA have attempted to clarify and implement a regulatory program under which mixed waste would be regulated by both agencies. This book reports on several important notices and regulatory guidance documents on the subject that the agencies have issued.
