(2) Administrative regulations promulgated by the cabinet shall prohibit the shipment into or acceptance of low-level radioactive waste in Kentucky if the shipment or acceptance would result in a violation of any provision of the compact or KRS 211.863, 211.865, and 211.869.

(e) Requiring that the shipper consent to service of process before shipment of low-level radioactive waste into Kentucky.
