Radioactive Waste Disposal: Inspection and Enforcement

At least once each year, our Field Operations Division inspects each facility that is licensed to handle or dispose of radioactive materials. Additional inspections may occur as necessary. Each inspection report is filed under the facility’s license number may be obtained from TCEQ Records Services in Austin.

If the inspection reveals violations, the rules are enforced as described in 30 TAC Chapter 70, Enforcement.  This process is described in TCEQ publication The TCEQ Has Inspected Your Business. What Does This Mean to You?, RG-344.

If you have any questions about the terms of a facility’s license or the related rules, contact us. For answers to questions about a facility that is under formal enforcement, contact our Enforcement Division.
