The Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) was enacted in 1978 in the United States. Its primary purpose is to address the management and regulation of radioactive waste resulting from uranium mining and milling operations. The act was established in response to concerns over the environmental and health risks posed by uranium mill tailings, which are the residues left after the extraction of uranium from ore.
