RADIATION PROTECTION ACT
Summary
Amends the Radiation Protection Act of 1990. Provides that all intrastate and interstate shippers or carriers (rather than intrastate and interstate carriers) of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel are required to notify the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security no less than 7 days (rather than 24 hours) prior to any transportation of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel. Changes the definition of "carrier" and "irradiated reactor fuel". Adds a definition of "shipper". Provides that the Agency may collect, store, and dispose of uncontrolled sources of radiation that have entered the public domain and that the Agency considers to be a threat to public health and safety or the environment. Authorizes the Agency to assess actual costs, as appropriate, for the collection, storage, and disposal of uncontrolled sources of radiation that have entered the public domain and that the Agency considers to be a threat to public health and safety or the environment against any person that owns, owned, possesses, or is responsible for the radioactive material entering the public domain.
