 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to establish standards for the inclusion of radioactive materials in toxic or hazardous wastes. Permits waste that contains a level of radioactive material at or below such standards to be transported, treated, stored, or disposed of without regard to such material. Requires toxic or hazardous waste management facilities which receive waste with radioactive material to ensure that the waste meets such standards.

Prohibits States or political subdivisions from establishing standards more stringent than those established by this Act, unless the Administrator approves such standards as necessary to protect public health and safety.
