Title: Low-level radioactive waste disposal. Joint hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Development of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the Subcommittee on Nuclear Regulation of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session on S. 1517 and S. 1578, October 8, 1985

Abstract

Two Senate bills, S. 1517 and S. 1578, were the subject of joint hearings on the issue of the disposal of low-level wastes. At issue was the inability to meet the January 1 deadline for the states to develop regional compacts. Witnesses discussed interim measures until the compacts are in place as proposed in the two bills. S. 1517 continues DOE financial and technical assistance, and revises the guidelines for regional compacts. S. 1578 focuses on improving the procedures for establishing and implementing the compacts. The witnesses presented the views of several states, the nuclear and electric power industries, environmental and safety groups, and others. Two appendices with additional responses and material submitted for the record follow the text of the two bills and the statements and testimony of 24 witnesses.
