LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE Number of Low Level Waste Generators in Illinois 1984-1991 400. 1984 "85 '86 '87 '88 '89 '90 '91 Year BMedical Generators QNonmedical Generators Sources: Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety Annual Survey Reports 1984-1991 Central Midwest Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Commission Regional Management Plan (1988) Figure Non-medical generators include those from the following categories: fuel-cell, research, reactor, industrial, academic and governmental, other. In 1984 nuclear power plants were counted by the number of utility companies and included in the fuel cycle category. In 1985 nuclear power plants were still counted by the number of companies, but were given their own category separate from other fuel cycle operations. The 1986 numbers reflect the number of power plants instead of the number of companies operating them. Prior to 1985, there was a "research" category. The generators previously included in this category were regrouped under either the medical, industrial or the newly formed academic category. Beginning with the 1990 IDNS Survey "other" was no longer included as a generator category. (Commonwealth Edison: Zion and Braidwood). The remainder of the nuclear power facilities are spread throughout the northern and central parts of the state. The non-reactor generators are not broken out by category but the majority of them are medical and academic. Of 269 total generators in 1990, 158 are located in the Chicago area. Volume of LLW Generated in Illinois Because of its heavy utiUzation of nuclear power, Illinois is one of the largest producers and shippers of LLW in the country. According to data provided by the Department of Energy (DOE), Illinois ranked among the lop 10 stales with respe
