Abstract
Why are 11 states attempting to develop new low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities? Why is only one disposal facility accepting waste nationally? What is the future of waste disposal? These questions are representative of those being asked throughout the country. This paper attempts to answer these questions in terms of where we are, how we got there, and where we might be going.
