Consent of the Congress to the Central Midwest Interstate Low-level Radioactive Waste Compact. Report submitted to the US House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, First Session, October 22, 1985

The Committee recommendations and suggested amendments for H.R. 2062 describe the Central Midwest Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact, which has been ratified by Illinois and Kentucky. Other states will be eligible to participate by following the compact procedures. The report summarizes the legislation, which permits a regional compact to handle, allocate, and regulate low-level wastes. It also establishes the conditions for the congressional consent, gives a section-by-section analysis of the provisions and obligations of member states, and concludes that the higher cost of waste disposal due to new facilities will not be inflationary
