RE: Commercial LLRW disposal sites

["Weiner, Ruth" <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

The U. S. Ecology site at Hanford (Richland, WA) is a commercial disposal
site.  Under the LLW Policy Act, the site only accepts unlimited amounts of
LLW from states that are members of the Northwest Compact, but the site does
accept out-of-compact waste under certain conditions.  I suggest contacting
U. S. Ecology, Richland, WA.

Clearly only my own opinion.

Radsafers:

Other than Envirocare (of which I am already aware), are there commercial
facilities in the US that accept low-level radioactive waste for disposal?
