Abstract
In 1979, approximately 4,300 cubic meters (83,300 curies) of LLRW was generated in California. By 1990, this figure changed to approximately 1,600 cubic meters and 5,500 curies (Table 12). The majority of the waste produced in 1990 came from industry (66 percent of the total volume and 90 percent of the total activity), whereas nuclear power reactors generated 24 percent of the total volume and four percent of the total activity (DOE, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984/a, 1985, 1986/a, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991; California, State of, DHS & BLM, 1991).
