You will have or be responsible for your shared  portion that was surrender to 
the vendor.  I would keep excellent waste disposal records.

If the vendor goes out of business, then the regulators go back to the 
waste generator and gets them to retrieve and properly dispose of their 
waste.

 Correct me if I'm wrong; If a generator surrenders radioactive waste ready for 
 burial, the vendor is responsible to complete the contract by transporting it
to
 the burial site.  If the vendor processes the your waste by combining with
other
 like waste or volume reduction, then the liability belongs to the vendor. 
 Although you are the generator, you may be liable to that portion of the waste 
 in the event of an accident or incident, the vendor has treated or changed the 
 intergity of the waste that was surrender in its original form for
burial...mike

  As I heard (we don't use RAMP, but a company my husband 
  used to work for did), the problem wasn't necessary poor 
  QA on the generator's part, but that RAMP was actually 
  COMBINING drums of materials from different institutions 
  without noting it.  So, some of you could have some 
  drums in Hanford that have YOUR name on them, but 
  SOMEONE ELSE's waste in them.  Talk about a cradle- 
  to-grave nightmare!
