Senate approves Texas low level waste site plan
The Texas Senate approved a bill 23 to 6 to establish a private company run facility to dispose of low level radioactive waste. The plan creates two facilities, one for compact waste from Texas Vermont and Maine and another adjacent site for Department of Energy waste. The bill names Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to issue a license and, while location is not specified, Andrews County in West Texas is favored by sponsor Teel Bivins. Waste Control Specialists of Pasadena backs the bill.
