H.R. 1083: a Bill to amend the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act to improve procedures for the implementation of compacts providing for the establishment and operation of regional disposal facilities for low-level radioactive waste, and for other purposes. Introduced in the House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session, February 7, 1985, October 22, 1985 and December 4, 1985

The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act amendments would permit states to enter into a compact with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to participate in a regional effort to manage low-level wastes and to site and operate waste disposal facilities. The Act defines pertinent terms, describes the states responsibilities for low-level waste disposal, and outlines the procedures for a regional interstate compact. There are provisions for financing the facilities, for reporting to the Secretary of Energy, and for using alternate disposal techniques
