West Valley Demonstration Project Act

Summary

West Valley Demonstration Project Act - Directs the Secretary of Energy to carry out a high-level liquid nuclear waste management demonstration project at the Western New York Service Center in West Valley, New York, by: (1) vitrifying such wastes located at the Center or by employing the most effective technology for solidification available; (2) transporting such solidified wastes to an appropriate Federal repository for long-term burial; and (3) decontaminating and decommissioning facilities, materials, and hardware used in connection with the project. Directs the Secretary to: (1) prepare a plan for safe removal of such wastes; (2) determine the feasibility of immobilization and waste handling techniques required by the unique situation of such wastes at the Center, including initiation of engineering and cost estimates, and safety and environmental impact analyses; and (3) transfer title to such wastes to the United States upon payment by the State of New York and other appropriate persons of an appropriate fee for the care and maintenance of such wastes. Authorizes appropriations for fiscal year 1980 for such project. Provides that funds authorized and appropriated in subsequent fiscal years for the project shall not be used by the Secretary until the Secretary, the State of New York, and other appropriate persons enter into specified contracts and agreements concerning the conduct and costs of such project. Directs the Secretary to transmit to specified congressional committees an annual report on the activities conducted in carrying out such project. States that, except for the costs and responsibilities established by this Act for such project, nothing in this Act is to be construed as affecting any rights, obligations, or liabilities of the commercial operator of the Center, the State of New York, or any person arising under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or under any other law or agreement for the operation, maintenance, or decontamination of any facilities or property at the Center or for any wastes at the Center. Adds that nothing in this Act is to be construed as affecting any licensing requirements of such Act or the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974.
