48-1620. Licensing of low-level radioactive waste disposal facility required; conditions. The secretary shall review and grant or deny final approval for each low-level radioactive waste disposal facility license in the same manner as provided in K.S.A. 65-3433 et seq., and amendments thereto. The secretary shall not approve any such license which would permit the disposal of low-level radioactive waste below the natural level of the disposal site unless the secretary, subject to legislative approval, has determined that below grade disposal provides greater protection than above grade disposal for the environment and public health for the period of time for which such low-level radioactive waste may continue to pose a hazard to the environment and public health.
