This book reviews the efforts of New York state to site a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility. It evaluates the nature, sources, and quality of the data, analyses, and procedures used by the New York State Siting Commission in its decisionmaking process, which identified five potential sites for low-level waste disposal. Finally, the committee offers a chapter highlighting the lessons in siting low-level radioactive waste facilities that can be learned from New York State's experience.

Contributor(s): National Research Council; Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources; Committee to Review New York State's Siting and Methodology Selection for Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal
