Midwest interstate low-level radioactive waste compact. 16.11(1)(1)
Article I—Policy and Purpose. 16.11(1)(a)(a) There is created the midwest interstate low-level radioactive waste compact. The states party to this compact recognize that the congress of the United States, by enacting "The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act", as amended by the "Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985",
42 USC 2021b to
2021j, has provided for and encouraged the development of low-level radioactive waste compacts as a tool for disposing of such waste. The party states acknowledge that the congress declared that each state is responsible for providing for the availability of capacity either within or outside the state for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders, except for waste generated as a result of certain defense activities of the federal government or federal research and development activities. The party states also recognize that the disposal of low-level radioactive waste is handled most efficiently on a regional basis and that the safe and efficient management of low-level radioactive waste generated within the region requires that sufficient capacity to dispose of such waste be properly provided. It is the policy of the party states to enter into a regional low-level radioactive waste disposal compact for the purpose of:
16.11(1)(a)1.
1. Providing the instrument and framework for a cooperative effort;
16.11(1)(a)2.
2. Providing sufficient facilities for the proper disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated in the region;
16.11(1)(a)3.
3. Protecting the health and safety of the citizens of the region;
16.11(1)(a)4.
4. Limiting the number of facilities required to effectively and efficiently dispose of low-level radioactive waste generated in the region;
16.11(1)(a)5.
5. Encouraging source reduction and the environmentally sound treatment of waste that is generated to minimize the amount of waste to be disposed of;
