Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

necessary to assure
that, prior to termination of such license:
(A) The licensee will comply with prerequisites for | | termination including, but not limited to, decontamination, decommissioning and reclamation requirements prescribed by the Agency which shall be equivalent to, to the extent practicable, or more stringent than, those of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for sites at which ores were processed primarily for their source material content, and at which such by-product material as defined in subsection (a-5)(2) of Section 4 is deposited.
|

|
|
(B) Terminate radioactive materials licenses that
| | authorize any activity that results in the production of by-product material as defined in subsection (a-5)(2) of Section 4 or that authorize the possession of such material, only if, prior to termination of such licenses, the licensee has completed decontamination of all properties that have been identified as being contaminated with by-product material at the licensed site and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that all applicable standards and requirements pertaining to such material have been met.

|
|
(4) The transfer of title to land used for disposal of by-product

unless the Commission permits such use after first determining that the use
would not endanger the public health, safety or welfare or the environment.
