Tex. Health & Safety Code Section 401.241
Security

(a)

In determining the amount of security required of a compact waste disposal facility license holder under Section 401.109 (Security), the commission shall also consider the need for financial security to address and prevent unplanned events that pose a risk to public health and safety and that may occur after the decommissioning and closure of the compact waste disposal facility or a federal facility waste disposal facility licensed under Section 401.216 (Federal Facility Waste Disposal).

(b)

The amount of security required of a license holder under this section may not be less than $20 million at the time the disposal facility site is decommissioned. The commission shall use interest earned on the security to offset any other financial obligations incurred by the license holder to the commission. The commission shall establish a schedule for the total payment of the amount of the security required under this section based on:

(1)

the amount of low-level radioactive waste received at the site;

(2)

the long-term risk to health, safety, and the environment posed by the waste; and

(3)

the need to address and prevent unplanned events that pose a risk to public health and safety.

(c)

The payment schedule required under this section must be sufficient to ensure that the amount of security provided by the license holder at any time between the issuance of the license and the time at which the facility is decommissioned is sufficient to:

(1)

address any increase in the risk to public health and safety that accompanies an increase in the volume of waste accepted by the license holder; and

(2)

meet the requirements of the commission for addressing unplanned events that may occur after the site has been closed.

(d)

The commission may require a license holder under this subchapter to provide security in the forms listed under Section 401.109 (Security)(d).
