The
agency is requiring that certain licensees download and complete the survey
noted below. The agency will compile the information obtained from
the various licensees and pass this information onto the Low Level
Radioactive Waste Committee. This committee will then use the information
to make recommendations to the Radiation Protection Commission on the
status of LLRW management within North Carolina. The information will
also be used for compiling a report to the N.C. General Assembly on the
status of LLRW management within North Carolina.
This April 2007 report provides current information on the status
of LLRW management in North Carolina and the related activities of
the Radiation Protection Commission and the Radiation Protection Section.
Based on the scheduled closure of Barnwell to out of compact generators
including North Carolina in 2008, it may be necessary for North Carolina
LLRW generators to develop long term on-site storage contingency plans for
dealing with some portion of their LLRW after June 30, 2008. For this reason,
the future of LLRW disposal remains unpredictable and will need to be
monitored closely over the next few
years.
