NAC459.900. Compliance with applicable federal and state laws.

     1. If any agency of the Federal Government is subject to a federal statute or regulation which precludes its compliance with any aspect of NAC 459.850 to 459.950, inclusive, the agency may enter into separate arrangements with the Division for disposal of radioactive waste in the state-owned disposal area if the agency gives assurances, satisfactory to the Division, that its shipments of radioactive waste to the area will be in compliance with all applicable provisions of federal law and the provisions of state law concerning burial of the waste at the area.

     2. Radioactive waste being shipped to the state-owned disposal area must remain packaged in compliance with applicable federal regulations and NAC 459.850 to 459.950, inclusive, until the waste is received at the disposal area for burial. The radioactive waste must be in such a physical condition and be so packaged that the operator of the disposal area is able to dispose of the waste without violating any condition of his or her license to operate the area.
