H.R. 2508 · 108th Congress
Safe Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Jun 18, 2003
Safe Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Act - Amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to prohibit the Department of Energy (DOE) from disposing any low-level radioactive waste in a landfill that does not meet all requirements and standards applicable to landfills containing hazardous waste under either Federal law, or under a State regulatory program, with respect to landfill lining, leachate collection systems, and groundwater and soil column monitoring systems.
Declares such prohibition inapplicable to DOE disposal of certain sealed reactor compartments and reactor components from Naval nuclear-powered warships and prototypes where a performance assessment or analysis in an environmental impact statement demonstrates that the sealed nature of the metal compartment or reactor component will significantly outlast and exceed performance standards for a liner system.
