Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985

Summary

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 - Amends the Low-Level Waste Policy Act to confer responsibility upon: (1) each State for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste, generated within the State, either by itself or in cooperation with other States; and (2) the Federal Government for ensuring the safe disposal of federally generated high-level and low-level radioactive waste materials. Allows States to provide for disposal of certain federally generated low-level radioactive waste. Directs the Secretary of Energy to ensure the safe disposal of certain radioactive waste for which no viable non-Federal disposal capacity exists and to submit to the Congress a comprehensive plan for implementing such disposal. Authorizes the States to enter into regional compacts to establish and operate regional low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities. Declares such compacts and regional activities inapplicable to atomic energy defense activities or Federal research and development activities. Provides that low-level radioactive waste generated by the Federal Government shall be subject to the same conditions as any such waste which is not generated by Federal activities. Requires each compact to provide that the Congress may by law withdraw its consent every five years. Requires each compact region that has a regional disposal facility in operation before a certain date to offer to allocate available disposal capacity to compact regions which do not have such facilities in operation. Directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and each agreement State to ensure that low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities licensed by the Commission or agreement State are bonded or covered by other financial assurance for a safe and environmentally sound radioactive waste disposal operation. Requires the Secretary of Energy to furnish technical and financial assistance to compact regions and to States seeking assistance under this Act. Requires the Secretary to submit a comprehensive report to the Congress regarding the operation of the national system for the management and disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
