Wrap Up: Texas Commission to Vote on Reducing Disposal Charge at Rad Waste Facility

摘要

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is scheduled to vote July 1 whether to approve the reduction in a charge for disposal of radioactive waste at a state-owned facility operated by Waste Control Specialists. The rulemaking would amend the Texas Administrative Code’s section on low-level radioactive waste disposal fees, specifically reducing the curie inventory charge from $0.40 per millicurie (mCi) of radioactivity to $0.05 per millicurie. That would be applied to waste shipped to the Compact Waste Facility managed by Waste Control Specialists at its disposal property in Andrews County.
