Legislative and legal developments in radioactive materials transportation, July 1992--October 1992

摘要

This is the fifth report prepared by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on developments in radioactive materials transportation. It updates information contained in the August 1992 Legislative and Legal Developments in Radioactive Materials Transportation report and describes activities for the period July 15--October 30, 1992. NCSL recently received funding to operate an on-line data base that contains abstracts of state laws and regulations relating to the transportation of radioactive materials. The data base will be operated by NCSL under a cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. Limited availability of on-line capability is anticipated by the end of February 1993. Users approved by DOE and NCSL will have access to the data base. Hard copy of any legislation listed in this report can be obtained by contacting the people listed below. This report contains summaries of legislation not included in the previous report. Bills that address nuclear materials transportation and the broader area of hazardous materials transportation are grouped by state according to their status--enacted, pending or failed. Also included are Federal Register notices pertinent to hazardous materials transportation.
