(a) For the first five years after a license is issued under this subchapter, the license shall limit the overall capacity of the federal facility waste disposal facility to not more than 3,000,000 cubic yards. Of that amount, the total volume of low-level radioactive waste accepted at the federal facility waste disposal facility that must be disposed of in accordance with § 336.730 of this title (relating to Near-Surface Land Disposal Facility Operation and Disposal Site Closure) shall be limited to not more than 300,000 cubic yards.

(b) Upon application for license amendment under § 305.62 of this title (relating to Amendment) and after five years from the date of licensing of the disposal of federal facility waste under this subchapter, the capacity of the federal facility waste disposal facility may be increased by 3,000,000 cubic yards for a total capacity of 6,000,000 cubic yards upon a determination by the commission that increasing the capacity of the federal facility waste disposal facility would not pose a significant risk to human health, public safety, or the environment. Of the increased amount, the volume of waste that must be disposed of in accordance with § 336.730 of this title may be increased by not more than 300,000 cubic yards for a total volume of 600,000 cubic yards.
