New York State Low-Level Radioactive Waste Status Report for 1999

This report summarizes data on low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) generated in New York State. It is based on reports from generators that must be filed annually with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and on data from the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE). The New York State Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Act (State Act) requires LLRW generators in the State to submit annual reports detailing the classes and quantities of waste generated. Section 1 covers volume, activity, and other characteristics of waste shipped for disposal in 1999. Section 2 summarizes volume, activity, and other characteristics of waste held for storage as of December 31, 1999. Section 3 shows historical LLRW generation and includes generators' projections for the next five years. Section 4 provides a list, by country, of all facilities from which 1999 LLRW reports were received.
