This fund will pay for DOE’s radio- active waste disposal activities, the full costs of which will be borne by the owners and generators under contract with DOE for disposal services. § 961.2 Applicability. This part applies to the Secretary of Energy or his designee and any person who owns or generates spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste, of domestic origin, generated in a civilian nuclear power reactor. If executed in a timely manner, the contract contained in this part will commit DOE to accept title to, transport, and dispose of such spent fuel and waste. In exchange for these services, the owners or genera- tors of such fuel or waste shall pay fees specified in the contract which are in- tended to recover fully the costs of the disposal services to be furnished by DOE. The contract must be signed by June 30, 1983, or by the date on which such owner or generator commences generation of, or takes title to, such spent fuel or waste, whichever occurs later. § 961.3 Definitions. For purposes of this part— Act means the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, Public Law 97–425, 96 Stat. 2201 et seq., 42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq. Contract means the agreement set forth in § 961.11 of this part and any duly executed amendment or modifica- tion thereto.
