Amends the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act to prohibit the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from granting a license for any low-level radioactive waste disposal facility at a site within 20 miles of the border of a neighboring State, unless the relevant interstate compact (or State that is not a member of a compact) provides notice and detailed information about the project to the neighboring noncompact State and to each local government and Indian tribal unit in the targeted area, giving them a chance to comment. Requires that the compact determine that the relevant site meets listed criteria before a decision to construct the disposal facility is made.
