Texas / VT Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission
“The WCS facility in western Andrews County is the only commercial facility in the United States licensed to dispose of Class A, B and C Low-level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) in the past 40 years. The member states of the Texas Compact Commission are Texas and Vermont. As the host/party states, Texas and Vermont are providing a solution to the long term need for disposal of LLRW. The CWF is also available for the 34 U.S. states that do not have access to a compact disposal facility.”
