The largest volumes of radioactive wastes in the United States contain only small amounts of radioactive material. These low-activity wastes (LAW) come from hospitals, utilities, research institutions, and defense installations where nuclear material is used. Millions of cubic feet of LAW also arise every year from non-nuclear enterprises such as mining and water treatment. While LAW present much less of a radiation hazard than spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive wastes, they can cause health risks if controlled improperly. Improving the Regulation and Management of Low-Activity Radioactive Wastes asserts that LAW should be regulated and managed according to the degree of risk they pose for treatment, storage, and disposal. Current regulations are based primarily on the type of industry that produced the waste-the waste's origin-rather than its risk. In this report, a risk-informed approach for regulating and managing all types of LAW in the United States is proposed. Implemented in a gradual or stepwise fashion, this approach combines scientific risk assessment with public values and perceptions. It focuses on the hazardous properties of the waste in question and how they compare with other waste materials. The approach is based on established principles for risk-informed decision making, current risk-informed initiatives by waste regulators in the United States and abroad, solutions available under current regulatory authorities, and remedies through new legislation when necessary.

As the Cold War drew to a close, the Dept. of Energy (DoE) shifted its focus from producing nuclear weapons to cleaning up the contaminated facilities where it had produced them. Over the next several decades, DoE expects to dispose of about 2.1 mill. cubic meters of low-level and mixed wastes where it operates disposal facilities. Concerned that DoE may not be managing and disposing of its wastes as cost-effectively as possible, this report reviews (1) the factors that influence DoE's decisions about the treat., storage, and disposal of wastes, and (2) DoE's costs to treat, store, and dispose of these wastes and the cost-effectiveness of DoE's disposal decisions.

Focused attention by world leaders is needed to address the substantial challenges posed by disposal of spent nuclear fuel from reactors and high-level radioactive waste from processing such fuel. The biggest challenges in achieving safe and secure storage and permanent waste disposal are societal, although technical challenges remain. Disposition of radioactive wastes in a deep geological repository is a sound approach as long as it progresses through a stepwise decision-making process that takes advantage of technical advances, public participation, and international cooperation. Written for concerned citizens as well as policymakers, this book was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and waste management organizations in eight other countries.

Review states' efforts to implement the Low-Level Rad. Waste Policy Act of 1980. This act requires states to provide for the disposal of the low-level rad. waste that is generated commercially within their borders. Thousands of businesses, medical facilities, and universities and over 100 nuclear power plants produce waste materials contaminated with rad'y. States plan to develop 11 new disposal facilities. These planned facilities are the result of efforts by states to implement Fed. legislation that makes them responsible for developing new disposal facilities.
