In the event of such costs resulting from radioactive releases from a regional facility, the host state should, to the maximum extent possible, seek to obtain monies from such insurance prior to using monies from the Extended Care and Long-Term Liability Fund. "q) All party states, or any other states which contract to dispose of wastes at the regional facility, shall be liable for the cost of extended care and long-term liability in excess of monies available from the Extended Care and Long-Term Liability Fund, as set forth in Article VI(o) and from the property and third-party liability insurance as set forth in Article VI(p). A party state may meet such liability for costs by levying surcharges upon generators located in the party state. The extent of such liability for such party state shall be based on the proportionate share of the total volume of waste placed in the regional facility by generators located in each such party state. Such liability shall be joint and several among the party states with a right of contribution between the party states.
