§ 7066. Requirements regarding radioactive waste disposal
(a) Every generator of low-level radioactive waste in this State shall comply with the reporting requirements of this chapter.
(b) A generator of low-level radioactive waste in this State that existed, as a generator, on the effective date of the Compact, including any nuclear plant, may not be discriminated against with respect to access to disposal capacity at the Compact facility.
(c) No generator of low-level radioactive waste in the State existing on the date of enactment of this section may increase its generation of waste in a year by more than 20 percent of the total annual volume of waste from all generators estimated for disposal by the Secretary of Natural Resources, under subdivision 7065(a)(3) of this title, unless that generator receives a favorable determination from the Secretary of Natural Resources that disposal capacity will be available as provided by section 3.04(11) of the Compact agreement.
(d) Any person other than those generators identified in subsection (c) of this section who wishes to undertake an activity that will generate low-level radioactive waste in the State must first receive a favorable determination from the Secretary of Natural Resources that disposal capacity will be available as provided by section 3.04(11) of the Compact agreement.
(e) No generator of low-level radioactive waste may dispose of its low-level radioactive waste at the Compact facility unless that generator has a current indemnification agreement with the State of Vermont. Federal generators of low-level radioactive waste shall be required to indemnify the State only to the extent permitted by federal law. Any indemnification agreement shall be reviewed by the Attorney General before the State agrees to it. (Added 1993, No. 137 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
