Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility Available To PA Generators
|
|
Pennsylvania generators of low-level radioactive waste were notified in a letter from the Appalachian States Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact in November they have the option of shipping their waste to Texas for treatment, storage or disposal. This option is now available as the result of the opening of the Texas Regional LLRW disposal facility in Andrews County, Texas.
Pennsylvania generators are required to sign a contract with the Texas facility and abide by its regulations and requirements for handling the waste before it can be accepted.
The Appalachian Compact states include Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
