Vermont Mostly Ready to Regulate Radioactive Materials Says the NRC

摘要

Staff at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission have determined that the Vermont state government is largely ready to assume regulatory authority over some radioactive materials. The only significant issue was with certain state regulations that require revision, the agency said in a Federal Register notice. Vermont has said it will address those issues. In April, Gov. Phil Scott submitted the official request for Vermont to become the 39thagreement state to the NRC. If the application goes through, Vermont would become the regulator and licensor for certain radioactive byproduct, source, and special materials.
