§1482. Requirements to be met by any low-level radioactive waste disposal facility
1.  State ownership and control.
Any low-level radioactive waste disposal facility developed in the State shall be owned and controlled by the State, but the State may contract for services as necessary.
[PL 1985, c. 705, §5 (NEW).]
1-A.  State ownership; exception.
Notwithstanding subsection 1, if a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility is developed at the site of a decommissioned nuclear power plant in the course of or as a result of the decommissioning process, the State is not required to own the facility.
[PL 1999, c. 739, §4 (NEW).]
2.  Protection of public health and safety.
Any low-level radioactive waste disposal facility developed in the State shall employ the safest available technology. In order to cope with the humid climate, high water table, cold winters and other geological characteristics of the State, improved engineered disposal methods in addition to geological barriers shall be used rather than conventional shallow land burial.
[PL 1985, c. 705, §5 (NEW).]
3.  Financing.
Any low-level radioactive waste disposal facility developed in the State shall be financed by funds collected prior to their expenditure from the generators of that waste within the State. This includes funds for planning, licensing, siting, construction, operation, closure, long-term monitoring and any other necessary functions.
[PL 1985, c. 705, §5 (NEW).]
4.  Licensing.
A low-level radioactive waste disposal facility developed in the State must be licensed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The facility must be approved by the Legislature in accordance with section 1479 and approved by the voters in accordance with section 1493.
[PL 1995, c. 642, §20 (AMD).]
5.  Facility near existing nuclear power plant.

Regulation of disposal or storage of low-level radioactive waste classified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as below regulatory concern

§1483. Regulation of disposal or storage of low-level radioactive waste classified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as below regulatory concern
To the extent permitted under federal law, no low-level radioactive waste generated through the production of nuclear power that the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission classified as low-level radioactive waste as of January 1, 1989, but which may be classified as below regulatory concern after that date, may be stored or disposed of in this State at other than a low-level radioactive waste storage or disposal facility licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, except as permitted under federal law as of January 1, 1989. Unless required under federal law, the State does not assume responsibility or ownership over these wastes by retaining jurisdiction over their storage and disposal.   [PL 1989, c. 461, §2 (NEW).]

§1493. Low-level radioactive waste disposal referendum
A low-level radioactive waste disposal or storage facility may not be constructed or operated in the State unless the construction or operation is approved by a majority of the voters voting on the construction or operation in a statewide election. The election must be held in the manner prescribed by law for holding a statewide election and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Title 35‑A, section 4302. The voters must be asked to vote on the acceptance or rejection of construction or operation by voting on the following question:
"Do you approve (insert construction or operation) of a low-level radioactive waste (insert disposal or storage) facility as proposed for (insert location)?"
[PL 1995, c. 642, §21 (AMD).]
This question must be submitted to the legal voters of the State at the next following statewide election after a decision by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission to approve a low-level radioactive waste facility.
