Policy Act

Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act in 1980. The Act assigned responsibility to each state for managing the waste produced within its borders. It also encouraged states to share that responsibility by forming regional compacts. The Act was amended in 1985.

Policy on The Management of Low-Level Radioactive Waste

The Policy on the Management of Low-Level Radioactive Waste was adopted by the Commission in October 2015. The Policy states that permanent disposal of LLRW is preferable to either short- or long-term onsite storage and that the management of LLRW is handled most efficiently and economically on a regional basis.

June 2017 Policy

Signatories to this agreement include: Appalachian Compact, Central Compact, Central Midwest Compact, Midwest Compact, Northeast Compact (Atlantic), Northwest Compact, Southeast Compact, Rocky Mountain Compact, and Southwestern Compact. Other signatories are District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont.
