Low-Level Waste Disposal Oversight
The three
operating low-level radioactive waste disposal
sites in the U.S. are regulated by Agreement
States (Utah,
South Carolina, and Washington). Each State has
an oversight program that consists of periodic
inspections of the facilities. The inspectors
examine whether incoming shipments are properly
documented and analyzed for their radioactive
material content. They also ensure that licensees
properly implement the radiation safety and waste
disposal requirements. |
