NRC moves to treat certain low level waste as nonessential
The NRC opened the way to exempt extremely low level radioactive waste from burial at special facilities. The policy, claiming safety is unchanged, could let some wastes be recycled or dumped in landfills, incinerators, or sewers, drawing criticism from consumer groups and warning hearings. Public Citizen says up to one third of such waste may shift from burial sites, costing about $82 million annually to the industry and labs.
