         (8)(b) a uranium mill licensed under Utah Code 59-24-102
  • Gross receipts: means all consideration an owner or operator of a radioactive waste facility receives for the disposal of radioactive waste in the state, without any deduction or expense paid or accrued related to the disposal of the radioactive waste. See Utah Code 59-24-102
  • Radioactive waste: means :
         (7)(a) alternate feed material;

     (2)(e) .5% of the gross receipts of a radioactive waste facility derived from the disposal of uncontainerized, unprocessed class A waste received by the facility if the uncontainerized, unprocessed class A waste does not exceed 10% of the radioactive concentration limit for class A waste as defined in 10 C.F.R. § 61.55;
     (2)(f) 5% of the gross receipts of a radioactive waste facility derived from the disposal of mixed waste, other than the mixed waste described in Subsection (2)(g), received from:
