Who is responsible for regulatory oversight of the safe disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) from MOX fuel fabrication and use?
DOE plans to take responsibility for LLW from these activities and dispose of the LLW at DOE waste disposal sites. This is permissible under existing NRC regulations and is consistent with the position taken by NRC in the pilot program for external regulation of DOE. No further legislative clarification is needed.
