The responsibility and burden for implementation of any option for the disposition of low-activity radioactive waste will primarily reside with the industries that generate the waste and those that provide the necessary waste management and disposal services. Unfortunately, there is no general consensus among these industries on the multiple policy issues that are critical to the application of an effective management and disposal program. This paper discusses the various policy issues that affect these industries and the problems that will likely occur during the course of their activities. These policy issues include public and political concern, opposition, and reaction; multiple and sometimes conflicting government agency jurisdiction, regulation, and policy; issues relating to the transition to a new comprehensive system; conflicts between the interests of the various industry groups; and operational, radiation safety, and regulatory implementation issues. For these reasons, the acceptable options may be limited. Case studies of various waste streams are included to show the specific impact and problems that these issues can create.
处置低活度放射性废物的任何方案的实施责任和负担，将主要落在产生废物的行业以及提供必要废物管理和处置服务的行业身上。不幸的是，这些行业在对有效管理和处置计划的应用至关重要的多个政策问题上未达成普遍共识。本文讨论了影响这些行业的各种政策问题以及在其活动过程中可能出现的问题。这些政策问题包括公众和政治方面的关注、反对和反应；多个政府机构有时相互冲突的管辖权、监管和政策；与向新的综合系统过渡相关的问题；各行业集团利益之间的冲突；以及运营、辐射安全和监管实施问题。由于这些原因，可接受的方案可能有限。文中包含了各种废物流的案例研究，以说明这些问题可能产生的具体影响和问题。
