OPINION NO. 90004 (1990)

Senator Douglas A. Kristensen

Attorney General of Nebraska — Opinion
DATE: January 24, 1990

SUBJECT: State Ownership of Low-Level Radioactive Waste

REQUESTED BY: Senator Douglas A. Kristensen Nebraska State Legislature

WRITTEN BY: Robert M. Spire, Attorney General Linda L. Willard, Assistant Attorney General

You have inquired regarding the constitutionality of a proposed legislative bill which would mandate that radioactive material accepted for disposal at a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility shall not become the property of the State. We find no constitutional infirmity with such a provision. However, you should be aware that current regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission do provide for state ownership at the time of facility closure.

Sincerely,

ROBERT M. SPIRE Attorney General

Linda L. Willard Assistant Attorney General 28-01-14.2

cc: Patrick J. O’Donnell Clerk of the Legislature
