DOE Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Locations

There are seven U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Waste Incidental to Reprocessing (WIR) Locations. As defined in Section 3116 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA), only DOE sites in Idaho and South Carolina are under the NDAA, so only Idaho and South Carolina are NDAA-Covered States. All other states are non-NDAA states. The NRC does not have regulatory or enforcement authority over DOE at any WIR location in any state.
